I have actually built all 3 kits. The Revell, the Trumpeter, and the Dragon.

The Dragon kit is by far the best. It has very nice brass gun barrels for the 14 inch guns, good photo etch parts, and some soft plastic parts that some people had problems with, but I didn't with my kit.

The Trumpeter kit is in the middle tending toward better. some parts need to be reshaped and trimmed a little, you'll be happy with it.

The Revell kit is the one i like the least. I had to put lots of puddy into it and deal with some inaccuracys. With some scratch building and some other improvisations you can build it into a decent model. It will take some more time than the others. I would say however that you should take the Revell 1/426 scale kit cut it off at the waterline, thats the best way to get a good waterline kit of the Arizona.

I would most recomend the Dragon Kit.

Chasing the ultimate build.

Dragon

Actually, I think the Hi-Mold (Pitroad) resin kit is the nicest, but you're not looking to spend $100 are you?

Hands down, the Dragon kit is the best Arizona kit for the money.
