Nope, not yet. My LHS has one on the shelf though, and I've been tempted.  Please let us know it builds up.

Hi, did you ever build this kit? I recently bought it and am about ready to begin.

The Banner kit had many, many problems, but it certainly looks like Arizona when built up. If you want a decent, easy battleship kit I'd recommend it... it makes a good first battleship kit.

But if you want to superdetail the thing and build it "right,"be prepared to cut off pretty much everything above the main deck and start over.

The new HobbyBoss kit is essentially the old Banner/Trumpeter/MiniHobby Models kit.

You want to build an Arizona, get the 1:700 offering from Dragon (Premium Edition).  May be the best Arizona in any scale, any medium.

Hi , I usually model armor but I've been getting an itch to build a battleship model. Growing up I was fascinated with the Uss Arizona and built the old Revell kit many times. So my question is how is the new Hobbyboss 1/350 kit? Like I said I normally model armor, so I'm not going to superdetail , I just want a good looking representation of the ship and something that goes together pretty good/easily. Any input will help thanks.
