I'm just starting the kit now and am looking for some photos of the actual
ship, not the model.  I've been searching online and found quite a few but
would love to get as many detailed photos of the ship as possible before

The local HL, much to my surprise has put in some 1/350 kits by Tamiya
and Turmpeter.  One I was looking at was the Tamiya 1/350 Missouri.
