I'll be following along, also. I have this kit, the Bismark, and Missouri main turrets, and the Bismark and Missouri secondary kits as well.

The lacquer thinner doesn't affect the styrene or do you remove it quickly?

With the basic turret assembled and gun barrel halves joined, will give the entire model a black primer surfacer before doing some preshading. Will install the more delicate pieces after priming and preshading. Will also fill and sand the barrel join lines before priming.

 

The kit provides two sets of blast bags, giving the modeler the option of displaying the barrels in a raised or lowered position.

Great project Craig. I was thinking about doing one, one day, but I will follow your build log with interest. 

 

There is a nice implementation of that kit on this French site and you may want to take a look at it, for ideas:

I am sure that you will do great, no matter what.

Thanks for that excellent reference, Yves. The addition of the Japanese sailors immediately caught my eye. Will begin searching for some of those figures for my model.

it would be a sure bet that no one would be near them  :D  .....at least,  no without ear protection ;)   there are battle ships that have a machine gun battery on top of the turret.  it is a fact that the guns can be individually elevated....most modelers keep them even.  it's a nice touch.
