Why this kit matters

The USS Arizona (BB-39) was a Pennsylvania-class battleship of the United States Navy. It is best known for its tragic sinking during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which resulted in a significant loss of life and marked the beginning of the United States' involvement in World War II. The USS Arizona remains at Pearl Harbor as a memorial to those who were lost and a symbol of American resilience. Its historical significance makes it a compelling subject for modelling.

This model kit allows you to recreate a highly detailed replica of this iconic warship as it appeared before the attack. Building this kit provides an engaging and challenging experience, perfect for those deeply interested in naval history and modelling. The finished model serves as a poignant reminder of the events at Pearl Harbor and the sacrifices made during World War II.
