Trumpeter Battleship USS Arizona (BB-39) 1941 Plastic Model Kit - 1/200 Scale

I have just begun this kit so the final outcome is unknown. Based on my experience with other Trumpeter kits, I expect no real problems. Obviously, I'm impressed by the sheer size of this model. The casting detail is truly remarkable. I honestly don't know how accurately this kit represents the real Arizona but I'm not a rivet counter so I'm just anticipating a beautiful display piece and that's all I really want from any kit I build. While being a little smaller than some of Trumpeters other 1/200 scale ships, it is still a very impressive tribute to one of the U.S. Navy's most honored warships.

Starting at the beginning with the packaging you can tell they actually care about their product, everything is nicely done all of the photographs and text on the box and inside the instructions and such are crystal clear. Upon inspection of the parts and hull, I would say its a great model. Good starting point for an easy build, I will say the model isn't too small to where you'd have trouble working on fine details, but not so large that you can't fit it inside your car to drive to a show or the pond if you RC convert the ship. So its the perfect size in my opinion. My first Trumpeter model, and I'd buy from them again in a heart beat.

I have not tackled this project yet, I’m still working on my Falcon project so this is on the back burner for now. I have seen many pictures of the completed model, and have seen numerous how to videos that made this purchase an easy decision. I had been working on plans for a huge diorama that will include three models and lots of room. I really wanted a museum type model to build as the main part of the diorama and I believe this is it. This is one of the better prices I found so that is why I purchased this.

Great model for those that want a large scale Arizona. Decent price, rather slow shipping but worth the wait.

This model is just beautiful. I have seen it completed and I am so excited to get started on it myself. My only issue is I wish Trumpeter would included the whole range of possible PE. It seems to me that at the cost, the PE could be included. This, however, is a minor complaint, as aftermarket kits are available.

Was given as a gift and he can't stop talking about it. Fast delivery with no damage. He is happy, I'm happy for him ☺️

Product arrived before scheduled delivery date. Product was in very good condition upon arrival. Product was as advertised, and will conduct business with this company again.

I meter long...huge model, no complains with my wife still...ha! I haven't started yet, but I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Delivered on time. If you are a history buff, this warship is for you.
