1/700 U.S.S. Pennsylvania
BB-38, "Super-dreadnought" Battleship, 1944
This is a Post Pearl Harbor refit after
being damaged December 7th 1941.
This kit portrays the Pennsylvania as it appeared later
in WWII, so many of the components (e.g. bridge, armaments, radar) are
completely
different to those used on the U.S.S. Arizona, which was sunk in the Pearl
Harbor attack. The hull is molded as a single piece with an integral
full deck. This innovative hull is a breakthrough and results in a much easier
build for modelers. Apart from the impressive new hull,
there is a plethora of newly tooled plastic and photo-etched parts to fit out
and embellish this fine battleship model.
This kit marks a step ahead in technological innovation, and is ready to slice
through the waves!
Main Features:
- First ever one-piece molded hull with full
deck

About the U.S.S. Pennsylvania BB-38:
Launched on 16 March 1915, the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) was the
lead ship in her “super-dreadnought” battleship class. When the Japanese made
their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the Pennsylvania was
in dry dock and it was one of the first ships to open fire on enemy dive
bombers. It was strafed in the attack and suffered 15 KIA and 14 MIA. Later the
battleship was to participate in the Aleutian, Saipan, Guam, and Leyte Gulf
campaigns, and was involved in more than its fair share of combat in the Pacific
theater. At the end of its life, the USS Pennsylvania suffered the “ignominy” of
becoming a target ship in nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946.
