Tigerdvr Posted September 10, 2022 #1 Posted September 10, 2022 Construction started 12/19/2021. My first 1/200 scale project. Kit was purchased from private party and included the Mk1 upgrade. She is shown as I see her in December 1941. Paint is Vallejo AV, AK, and Scale Colors. My first time using Scale Colors, I like them. Rigging is Ezline and stainless steel wire. The kit decal sheet is quite complete but appears too large so I used 1/350 decals. The "ARIZONA" on the port quarter is bare brass which is just a bit of artistic license. Starboard is correct. The kit is quite complete and detailed. It could easily produce a nice model right out of the box. I used the usual vast amount of references covering the Arizona. The Kagero Super Drawings in 3D is a fine reference and helped to clarify a number of points in the kit instructions. The case is by AcrylicJob. I have enjoyed using them previously. The attached pics are some quickies. I intend to do a finish set when I add her crew. Sorry for the picture problem.

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted September 10, 2022 #3 Posted September 10, 2022 Bravo! Very nice indeed. Now I saw a picture of her early in her career when she had two fire control 'towers' that were a steel 'basketweave' ... presumably so hostile shots could pass right through. 'Don't know of any models made of that version. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Completed builds: Khufu Solar Barge - 1:72 Woody Joe Current project(s): Gorch Fock restoration 1:100, Billing Wasa (bust) - 1:100 Billings, Great Harry (bust) 1:88 ex.
