USS Arizona by B-Ram - Revell - Scale 1:426 - PLASTIC

[B-Ram]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm starting on my next plastic model. This will be my second plastic model. My first plastic model was the Revell USS Missouri. I started with these two models mainly because if I mess them up I haven't lost too much. I opened up the box and was somewhat pleased. Being the model castings were made in the 1950's, the model looks ok. The flashing doesn't look bad either. There is a date molded into the hull "1959". The hull is 17" long and is in two pieces. Holding the two halves together, it doesn't look like it will take very much work to get them to fit good.

Ah, the famous "box scale" Revell models. I built this one back when I was seven or eight years old.

Do you have a picture of the box ends?

 

I want to verify something from my youth?

[B-Ram]

Sure, when I get out to the shop I’ll take some.

Long ago, before they had PE specifically for this model, I was still working out how to make the gantries on the forward mast when the movers attacked.

Gregory,

 

Here is a picture of the box end. Both ends are the same.

I apologize if I'm being too much trouble, but I'm thinking of the end like this:

 

 

 

 Once I see the end of the box, i can tell you what I have in mind..

Thanks
