Recommended conversion parts to build USS Pennsylvania BB-38 from:
- Dragon 1/700 USS Arizona (# 7040)

This model kit superstructure is intended to help the modeler build USS Pennsylvania BB-38 as she appeared from 1935 to 1940, in her post-1929 to 1931 refit, newly modernized configuration.
This is a multi-part kit. These parts were designed for a tight fit. 3D-printed plastic is more brittle than polystyrene kit parts. If necessary, trim parts to fit rather than force them.
Features:
- two detailed armored conning tower stations, one for command and navigation and the other for flag officer command, with three types of accurately shaped vision slits
- enlarged, signal deck, unique to Pennsylvania
- properly shaped navigation bridge and pilot house
- open door positions ready for your favorite photo-etch doors (not included)
- unusual doors (exterior navigating bridge) present in the closed position
- heavy supporting structure details
- fine supporting structure details omitted, ready for your favorite photo-etch parts (not included)
