Product Description ■ The USS California was commissioned on August 10, 1921 as the second Tennessee class ship.
We adopted a full-scale electric propulsion engine to enhance the defensive power and damage control.
As with the new mexico class, the main guns were equipped with 12 50-caliber, 35.6 cm guns, which were stronger than the Yamashiro and Ise class battleships of the Japanese Navy, which were completed around the same time.
In addition, the main guns were modernized in 1930, but only 12 secondary guns, 3 inch high-angle guns were replaced with 5 inch guns, and 3 aircraft were loaded.
On December 7, 1941, California, which was anchored at Pearl Harbor, was attacked by the Japanese Navy. Two torpedoes and two bombs hit it. However, in 1942, it was lifted and modernized and returned to the front line.
The kit reproduces the appearance of Pearl Harbor in 1941 characterized by two basket masts in front and back.
It is a limited item with 12 metal main guns and 8 metal distance meters attached to the regular product.
Comes with a basket mast and an etching part for crane.
Comes with 2 OS2U Kingfisher observation instruments.
