    Hey everyone. I got an order in process for the USS ARIZONA Hull kit from Strike Models. This will be my last ship project from Strike . Probably my last one as far as new ones is concerned as I have several more that need to be built.

    Arizona is my bucket list ship and I am looking forward to building this magnificient ship.

    Hmmm good question. I did not even think of a version. But I had in my mind the version that was sunk at Pearl Harbour.

    If you are going to battle it, build the early version, bunch of side case-mates, still a class 5.5, but lighter

    The U.S.S. Arizona arrived yesterday. Still in the box as I had not had the chance to open it to check the contents of the kit. Will do that today.
