    is that hull warped from the swimming pool deck to below the port holes to the right of the clear tape holding the decks to the hull?

    the layout & shape of the aft superstructure appears to be wrong according to these links. Starboard view off Norfolk Navy Yard, 3 June 1942. http://www.navsource.net/archives/01/015560.jpg November, 1944. http://navsource.net/archives/01/055/015515g.jpg in 1945. Line drawing by A.L.

    Ian, do both props spin in the same direction or does 1 spin right & the other spins left?

    would not the motor go in reverse if you reverse the polarity with the battery?

    double check my math to confirm the belt thickness. that is why i said a dremel tool or similar to reduce or remove the belt & replace with new belt so no wavy lines caused by reducing belt thickness.

    what time period of the war for NC? armor belt thickness for that class would be 12" so at 1/700 scale it would be .435mm thick, do you have a dremel tool or similar to remove that belt & replace with 2 layers of .2mm or 1 layer of .5mm thick styrene sheet?

    what time period are you doing the model as Trumpeter's painting instructions leave a lot to wonder about?
  17. ddp
    no problem.

    those are not barbettes for the 6in guns but casements. the barbettes are the bases for the 13.5in turrets to sit on. they are similar to what was on the American standard battleships with the New Mexico class being the last to have them in the hull but no guns installed.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
