Overview
USS Arizona 1/200 Scale 930mm (36.2") US Battleship - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1065-003
The USS Arizona, a 608’ long Pennsylvania-class battleship, holds a significant place in American history, particularly for its tragic role in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Commissioned in 1916, the USS Arizona was part of the U.S. Navy’s expansion during World War I. Although it did not see combat during the war, it became an essential part of the fleet in the interwar period.
On December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona was moored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, when Japanese forces launched a surprise attack. A bomb penetrated the forward ammunition magazines, leading to a catastrophic explosion that sank the ship and killed 1,177 of its crew. The loss of the USS Arizona represented nearly half of the total American casualties during the attack.
The wreck of the USS Arizona remains at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, serving as a powerful memorial. In 1962, the USS Arizona Memorial was dedicated, straddling the sunken battleship without touching it, to honor the men who perished.
Bancroft’s 1/200 scale USS Arizona allows an impressive museum-quality piece to be displayed on your mantle or astonish your RC boat club with this functional RTR historic model. Hundreds of parts are already assembled, painted, and installed for you. Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the vessel can be sailing within minutes of arrival, using the included 2.4Ghz radio transmitter, 7.4v 2S LiPo battery, and charger. Only four AA batteries and minimal assembly is required.

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.

If all you are looking for is a high quality static model, then this would fit that bill (with a few minor tweaks if you are OCD). The packaging was improved (double boxed with better foam arrangement) and my unit arrived with zero broken pieces. Where it falls flat is in the primary function of being an remote control ship. The interior is cramped and access is severely restricted unless you have a child's hands. It is very difficult to access the couplers for the inner shafts as they sit well behind the opening. The lack of access impacts shaft maintenance, especially in my case where one of the set screws came stripped. As has been consistent with every (5+ now) Bancroft model, the shafts definitely need to have the grease redone despite them having moved away from the horrid red grease. This one just wasn't done well enough to allow the shafts to spin properly or consistently at lower RPM. All told, I am disappointed in the offering of this very iconic ship.

Very impressed with the detail of this historical war ship. Craftmanship is exquisite. I do wish that this ship was offered in a larger scale. I actually had the distinct honor of standing as honor guard at her memorial during my time in the Navy back in the mid 80's aboard the U.S.S. Constellation CV-64. Being from Arizona I am happy to have her in my Fleet of war ships.

This came out of the box with no, I repeat, no broken, bent or missing parts. Yay! The only thing that was a mistake were the markings for the Kingfisher. At the time of Pearl Harbor they were star and dot not the star and bar. Also it would be nice if in future the aircraft had more detail as well. Other than that all is well.
