USS Pennsylvania, BB-38, 1943
First Look at the H-P Models Kit in 1:700 Scale

After the attack at Pearl Harbor, USS Pennsylvania was repaired and refitted. In the refit she lost her tripod mainmast but gained 8 twin 5"/38 cal DP turrets. This H-P Models kit shows her as she appeared for most of the war in the Pacific.
