About this new series:
What are Dragon Premium Edition Kits?
Premium Edition kits strike an optimum balance between technology and value
for the money, often with the reuse and revival of existing Dragon Models. New
technology is added to create new molds and more accurate parts, and these elements
are combined to produce a greatly improved kit. Premium Edition kits are complete
in every sense and offer modellers a chance to extend their families of model
vehicles.
About the U.S.S. Arizona:
The USS Arizona (BB-39) was a Pennsylvania-class battleship of the United States
Navy. The vessel was the third to be named in honor of the 48th state, though
the first since its statehood was actually achieved. She was commissioned in
1916 and saw action in World War I. The USS Arizona is best known for her catastrophic
sinking, with the loss of 1,177 lives, during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
on 7 December 1941, the event that brought about U.S. involvement in World War
II. The wreck was not salvaged, but continues to lie at the floor of the harbor.
It is the site of a memorial to those who perished on that day.
