Revell USS Arizona Battleship - 1/426 Scale Model Kit

Overview:

On the morning of December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was quiet and the sun was shining. The Arizona had just returned from naval maneuvers and was anchored in line with the other battleships along the Ford Island coast. Most of the crew was just having breakfast. Gunfire and the sound of bombs broke the silence, and as the sailors rushed on deck they realized their ship was under fire. In a terribly horrible moment, the Arizona was hit by a torpedo on the port side, a large bomb "amidships" and an armor-piercing bomb on the forecastle. 1,100 sailors lost their lives. To commemorate the men of the Arizona, a simple plaque was placed over the ship and a flagpole erected.
