Nice model!. "The USS New York, Amphibious Transport Dock LPD-2, is a brand-new 1:350 scale kit from Revell Germany. The ship was named after the city that bore the brunt of the attacks of September 11, 2001 Mat Irvine reports: The kit box is packed with parts, mostly styrene, though there are a number in brass photo-etch, a common practice these days for many kits, especially ships, where metal can reproduce tiny details far better than plastic…" See here link Hope you enjoy!.

If only it was a little bigger, all those cool helicopters would be great for micro armor!

Looks very impressive but at $299.99 USD it is not for me. Something to buy my model building Buddie if I ever win the lottery.

Oh my…. never crossed my mind it would be $300 USD!

For a mixed-media model (lots of photoetched brass railings, etc) that is 28" long, I don't think the price is too high. The 1/350th battleships are ~$150 or so, and that's without all the PE goodies.
