Why this kit matters

The USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) was a flagship of the United States Navy and played a significant role during World War II. Commissioned in 1916, she was present at Pearl Harbor during the infamous attack in 1941 and later underwent extensive repairs and upgrades. By 1944, Pennsylvania was equipped with advanced anti-aircraft weaponry and served in major Pacific campaigns, including the Aleutian Islands, the Philippines, and Okinawa.

This model kit represents the ship as she appeared in 1944, reflecting her wartime modifications and battle-hardened appearance. Building this kit offers a hands-on way to explore naval engineering and the history of one of the US Navy’s most storied battleships.
