The 1/200 scale remote-controlled model of the USS Arizona battleship brilliantly captures the essence of the ship that tragically sank during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941—an event pivotal in propelling the United States into World War II.

This exceptional model, crafted by Trumpeter, originated as a plastic model kit of the USS Arizona in 2011. However, in 2016, Trumpeter decided to elevate the project by producing a fully functional version operable through remote control.

Trumpeter's commitment to maintaining an outstanding level of scaled detail, a hallmark for which they are globally recognized in the realm of plastic models, is vividly evident in this remote-controlled version of the USS Arizona BB-39 battleship.

This ambitious endeavor represents a remarkable fusion of the meticulous aesthetics associated with plastic models and enhanced functionality provided by the remote control—a combination that garners admiration.

The impressive features of this model include rotating cannons, a smoke mechanism, LED lights, and sound effects, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of scale modeling and remote-controlled naval modeling.

The meticulous attention to detail, even at a reduced scale, creates an immersive experience for hobbyists looking to relive the history of the USS Arizona in a unique way.

Technical specifications add a tangible dimension to this outstanding achievement.

The 2.4 GHz 13-channel radio provides remarkable control precision, allowing precise manipulation of the model from a distance.

Powered by a 7.4V 1300mAh LiPo battery (battery non included), the remote-controlled USS Arizona offers a runtime of 25 minutes, providing extended gaming sessions.

In terms of dimensions, the model unfolds with an impressive length of 926.6 mm (36.48"), a width of 162.4 mm (6.39"), and a height of 280 mm (11.02").

The weight of 3200 g adds to the robustness and stability of the model, creating an impressive replica both in terms of size and detail.

With over 1040 parts, this remote-controlled model of the USS Arizona BB-39 truly embodies Trumpeter's dedication to the art of modeling, offering enthusiasts an exceptional opportunity to celebrate history while enjoying the benefits of modern remote control technology.

A living testament to the past, this creation evokes admiration for both its aesthetics and remarkable functionality.
