stevej60 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Hi folk's trying to break my ship taboo again,three massive failure's over the last couple of year's.This was a £2:99 modelzone buy which has been passed on to me by my eldest,I know it's an oldie probably full of fault's but I fancy an old fashioned OOB build just to get a ship on the shelf then I can do justice to the old Arizona which I also have,she had a long carreer including shooting down Vietnamese Mig's one at a range of 63 Miles!Here's the box. Our very own Paul did a review a while back. Edited October 23, 2017 by stevej60 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserguy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi Everyone, I build this when I was about 10 or 11, almost 50 years ago. I loved it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Best Wishes, Will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
