Revell 1:426 Uss Arizona Battleship, Model Builder in my opinion

The previous week. I search for information on the Revell 1:426 Uss Arizona Battleship, so i would like to bring a story to tell.

just recently I bought/built this kit of the USS Arizona. I built this kit back in 1970 when I was about 10 or 12 years. It was then and enjoyabe was funny 30 years later. I like to build models that I built as a child, if there are still. then, you haven't paid attention to detail and modeled on problems of adaptation or accuracy, just having fun building a model and use your imagination. true, as for previous comments re-viewers on this kit, detail, accuracy, molding, suitable problems, etc.. are not up to snuff in comparison to today's standards by manufacturers now. It must be remembered that this kit from Revell is over 40 years old. in those days were more worried about getting the kit Manufacturer market. then, Revell was that Tamiya is now in fashion. so to all those manufacturers of "professional" model out there, remember that this is an extremely old kit and you will have problems with a kit that was first released in 1950. the instruction sheet is easy to follow and call the parts to be painted (if desired) under construction. I pre-painted everything before the building and touched the parties/places after completion. instruction sheet gives a brief history of this ship, painting tips and decals. the kit also comes with 2 scout biplane aircraft, making this version of the configuration about late 1930s USS ARIZONA. the tri-pod trees are available in multiple parts, but it is easy to assemble. the main weapons can be made to go up and down, depending on the size; I just pasted mine in the position that I wanted. Hull is available in 2 pieces and there may be a problem fit there due to the age of the kit; had to go "old school" and keep the hull with rubber bands and a block of wood until the glue dries overnight.
