Ahoy mates!

I just read that Trumpeter's new 1/200 USS Arizona is a re-tool. Let's hope it's as good as their recent offerings.

A re-tool? Of what? Who's made this kit, in this scale before?

They may have retooled the 1/350 and then up sized it.

I guess I have a different way to think of a "re-do." I tend to think of a re-do as when a company has an older kit and just upgrades it a bit. I wouldn't think of resizing as being a 're-do." It's just semantics. I thought you were saying this was an older kit in 1/200 they were bringing out again.

Either way it should still prove to be interesting. At least it's not another Bismarck.

With the FSM article on converting the Zona to the Penny, maybe someone will come out with a conversion kit.
