Restorer John Stewart stands next to his refurbished baby, the 1/15 scale USS Nevada prior to it being displayed in southern California. Stewart spent 11 months refurbishing the giant battleship model that appeared in the 1970 movie, Tora! Tora! Tora!, which recounted the attack on Pearl Harbor. This year we remember the 75th anniversary of that attack that drew the United States into World War II.
