Its history is closely connected to the events of World War II – the ship underwent thorough modernization after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, where it was severely damaged. After reconstruction, it returned to active duty in 1944. West Virginia took part in key operations in the Pacific, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf, operations around Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. The version recreated by Trumpeter depicts its appearance in 1945, at the peak of modernization, featuring extensive anti-aircraft armament and modern radars.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/700\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of service: \u003cstrong\u003eUnited States of America\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical period: \u003cstrong\u003eWorld War II (1944-1945)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise details of the deck, superstructures, and armament corresponding to the USS West Virginia's 1945 configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe set includes, among others, anti-aircraft armament elements, radars, and ship's boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model does not require soldering or additional tools beyond standard modeling supplies (glue and paints sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStickers with hull numbers, flags, and detailed markings included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts molded using high-precision plastic injection technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this model recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis model is an excellent choice for both intermediate and experienced naval modelers.
