1/700 scale trumpeter uss arizona

The 1:700 scale Arizona by Trumpeter/MHM  is a pantograph down of the Banner/Trumpeter.MiniHobby Models 1:350 kit (which itself was a pantograph & re-engineer of the 1:426 scale Revell kit.    At one time this was the best 1:700 scale plastic Arizona on the market, being ever so much better than the Revell 1:720 Arizona which is in the running for the worst all time plastic ship kit.   There are some major issues with the turret spacing on the Trumepter/MHM kit.  

However with Dragon's release of their 1:700 scale Arizona, the flaws and inaccuracies of the Trumpeter kit were brought to the fore.   

If you want a well engineered and 'accurate' 1:700 scale Arizona in plastic, get the Dragon.   If you want a buildable kit for less than 20 bucks, get the Trumpeter/MHM.  If you want neither, get the  Revell.

thanks Edgrune 

it is same price as the 720th revell @ 6.95 so i will get it instead of the revell  which i knew as junk

ps if you think the revell is one of the worst  you haven't seen the trumpeter 350th qing dao destroyer      lol 

Dont forget about the old Revell RMS Titanic (I dont remember the exact scale, but the smaller one)  One of my hull halves was off by 1/2".   Scarry!
