This is the ship that inspired Americans to enlist in World War Two, a monument to the drawing power of courage in the midst of despair on December 7, 1941. Now a handcrafted full-hull solid wood model ship of Pearl Harbor's USS Arizona is available for the first time ever in precise 1/700 scale model. About 10 inches long, this replica is carved by hand from mahogany wood and is heavily detailed with handcast resin and metal pieces. It comes ready to display on an elegant, handmade, furniture-finish 12-inch display base using hand-turned brass pedestals. A brass name plate completes the display ship. Overall the quality of this historic battleship model would command a $600 retail value, but it is now available at our extremely low factory price. 

This is not a mass-produced wood model ship. Each museum-quality replica is handcrafted by mastercraft and will make a perfect gift or memento for the sailor, ship or military enthusiast. As such it is shipped to the customer in a heavy-duty carton box; the ship model itself is encased in a secure wood frame which will require some disassembly. 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 cataclysmic and dramatic 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.
