This model kit superstructure is intended as a more accurate and much better detailed option for modelers building a 1/700 scale USS Arizona BB-39 model kit as the ship appeared throughout the 1930s, after her major 1929-1931 reconstruction at Norfolk, Virginia, until further modifications were made in late 1940-January 1941 at Puget Sound Navy Yard.
The superstructure was in this configuration during the March, 1934 filming of "Here Comes the Navy" starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and Gloria Stuart.
This is a four-part kit. These parts were designed for a tight fit. 3D-printed plastic is more brittle than polystyrene kit parts. If necessary, trim parts to fit rather than force them.
Features:
- overall dimensions and features scaled from drawings by Alan B. Chesley modified to match photographs
- detailed armored conning tower with two types of accurately shaped vision slits
- properly shaped signal deck
- properly shaped navigation bridge and pilot house
- splinter shield rib details
- closed, doors of the proper type
- heavy supporting structure details
- fine supporting structure details omitted, ready for your favorite photo-etch parts (not included)
