USS Arizona BB-39 (1941), 1/350 - Hobby Boss 86501

The USS Arizona BB-39 (1941) model kit to assemble by Hobby Boss, reference 86501, reproduces at 1/350 the American battleship USS Arizona in its 1941 configuration. This plastic kit allows you to create a naval piece dedicated to the US Navy of the Second World War.

USS Arizona, designated BB-39, was a battleship of the Pennsylvania class. It is associated with the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, a major event marking the United States’ entry into the Second World War. The subject is therefore a particularly evocative foundation for a scale model of an American military ship from this period.

The 1/350 scale offers a practical format for working on superstructures, artillery, landing craft, and deck details. Each dimension of the real vessel is reduced 350 times, resulting in a replica intended for static display in a showcase or as part of a port diorama.

Assembly is done using the usual products for plastic model making: suitable glue, side cutters, precision tools, abrasives, and model paints. A primer helps prepare the surfaces before painting. Applying decals, followed if desired by a light weathering, helps enhance the realism of the finished replica.
