The USS Arizona is a battleship that went down in history due to its tragic role during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941—a symbol of heroism and loss for the American navy. The USS Arizona was in service from 1916 until the day of the attack, representing innovative technical solutions of the interwar period and the early years of WWII. The ship served as both a training and a flagship vessel in the Pacific Fleet, and its profile is one of the most famous in world naval history.

Published on glossy paper, the book contains detailed plans and unique three-dimensional visualizations, allowing for a thorough analysis of the ship's construction and armament. It stands as an invaluable source of information for modelers and historians striving for faithful reproduction of the USS Arizona model—both in terms of detail and painting. Technical drawings and renders make it possible to accurately recreate even the most challenging hull sections or deck equipment.

Category: modeling literature, warship monographs, supporting materials for model construction (ideal as assistance for building plastic model kits as well as 3D printed or resin sets).

We especially recommend this publication to advanced ship modelers as well as those involved in historical reconstructions. We rate the material’s level of advancement at 4/5—particularly for those who appreciate technical precision and faithful reproduction of the original.
