This U.S.S. Arizona battleship model was built and painted by my son, Philip,
who was 10 years old at the time. It is the stock
1/426th scale U.S.S. Arizona Revell kit. Spray cans of Testors enamel paint
were used for the hull and deck, and the small Testors bottles of colors were
used for the airplanes and detail work. His effort paid off with a 1st Place
ribbon at the 2005 Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Philip
was at one time an ardent World War II history enthusiast, being especially
interested in the naval battles of the South Pacific.
Above is my son, Philip, holding his plastic model of the USS Yorktown.
