Dragon USS ArizonaBB-39 Pearl Harbour

The USS Arizona was one of two Pennsylvania class battleships built during the first world war. She was modernized between the wars and was at her berth when war came to the United States on December 7th 1941. She will always be remembered for the tremendous loss of life that occurred when she was hit by a Japanese bomb that detonated her forward magazine. The Arizona sank immediately and to this day lies on the bottom of Pearl Harbor, a permanent memorial for those who gave their lives in defense of their country.

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, Dragon upgraded their Arizona kit to include a couple of new Nakajima B5N1 "Kate" torpedo bombers. The majority of the parts are the same as in the Premium Edition Arizona kit released in 2006. It is currently the best 1/700 Arizona kit on the market in terms of accuracy and detail. Decals and instructions are updated for this new release.
