Pennsylvania Warship Exec. Edition

Pennsylvania Warship Exec. Edition COBI Historical Building Blocks 4842

The Collectors EXECUTIVE EDITION Pennsylvania-class ships offer two options for building a historical Pennsylvania-class battleship. Thanks to the included extra blocks with markings and ship feature elements, you can choose to build either the USS Pennsylvania or USS Arizona. Clear and intuitive instructions will easily guide you through the building process. The ship is designed in the scale of 1:300 and is 61.5 cm long. Over 2,000 building blocks will provide hours of exciting construction. The Executive version also includes a block display stand on which you can attach black plates with the ships technical data and name. Thanks to the use of the latest available elements and advanced building techniques, the model faithfully reflects the proportions of the historical ship as much as possible and preserves all its essential elements, including the original, very distinctive shape of the hull and superstructure.

The model has several moving parts, such as propellers, rudders, rotating turrets, and gun barrels that can be raised and lowered. The set is also a perfect addition to the collection of historical COBI ships.

USS Pennsylvania and USS Arizona were two battleships launched during the Great War. During their service, the ships underwent modernization. Both Pennsylvania-class ships were present at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. A catastrophic detonation occurred during the attack on USS Arizona. The majority of the crew was killed, and the ship sank, becoming a symbol of the Japanese attack. The wreck of the battleship has never been found. The elements of the superstructure that protruded above the water surface were removed, leaving only the barbette of the third main artillery turret. In 1962, the USS Arizona Memorial on the wreckage was opened. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, USS Pennsylvania suffered only minor damage and served throughout World War II in the Pacific, undergoing subsequent modernizations. During the Battle of Surigao Strait on October 25, 1944, Pennsylvania was hit by a torpedo. Severe damage to the propulsion system made repairs uneconomical. In 1946, the obsolete ship became a target for nuclear weapons testing.
