MiniHobby Models is a sister company to Trumpeter. Both are owned by the Wasan Moulding Company. MiniHobby Models (MHM) seems to have developed the reputation for doing clones of others work while Trumpeter does the original projects. Some of Trumpeter's early works were crude but their reputation has been steadily rising.
MHM's products are mostly scattershot. Their 1:700 USS Hornet and Enterprise were 1:1 copies of the Tamiya versions. The suffered from soft raised details and yawning ravines of engraved details. The only good thing was the price -- less than half that of the Tamiya. But the question is how much is your time worth in correcting such flaws?
The MHM Tirpitz/Bismarck are again clones of the Tamiya with softer details. The MHM 1:350 Enterprise is another clone, but it is a bit better quality - but not as good as the original.
In 2001, Wasan produced the 1:350 USS Arizona. It was a re-engineered version of the box scale Revell. It had some improvements yet introduced flaws of its own. The original batch were sold under the Banner label. This was before the Trumpeter brand started to flourish. Perhaps they thought better of the name (as in Red Banner?). Now you will see that exact kit in MHM boxes.
The MHM small Arizona is essentially a pantograph down of their big version. It fixes some of the problems with the old small Revell kit - but has other problems of its own.
Essentially, MHM is the low price/low quality brand of Trumpeter. Thank the gift giver. Enjoy the build for what it is. Go into the model knowing about the manufacturer and don't get wrapped around the axle on accuracy or details.
