Revell USS Arizona Battleship 1:426 Scale Model Kit (85-0302)

Description

Arizona was attacked on December 7, 1941, during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor from Nakajima B5N bombers and a symbol of American humiliation. 43.2cm in length. Suitable for 12 years and up. On the morning of December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was quiet and sunny. The Arizona, just back from fleet maneuvers, was tied up in ”Battleship Row” along Ford Island. Most of the crew was at breakfast. Gunfire and the sound of bombs broke the quiet, and rushing to the deck, the sailors met a full attack underway. In a frightening, terrible instant, the Arizona took a torpedo in her port side, a large bomb ”amidships”, and an armor piercing bomb in the forecastle. Eleven-hundred seamen lost their lives. As a remembrance to the men of the Arizona, a simple memorial and flagpole were erected over the ship. The model has 12 elevating 14in cannons in 4 rotating turrets. Full light armament: including 5in and 1.1in AA guns and a 10.5in turret cannon. With finely engraved planking plate detail. Complete deck fittings: including searchlights, motor launches,  whaleboats, rangefinders, ladders, cranes, and tripod masts with observation nests. As well as decals for ship float planes, full colour flag sheet, display stands, and a Detailed superstructure.
