The 1/32 looks great! For those who are building smaller versions,  Distefan 3D Print, offers the Bismark catapult assembly in 1/72nd and smaller scales. I'm hoping to get their 14" 45 caliber (Used on at lest the USS Arizona, and Pennsylvania) Turret and catapult model in 1/72nd, though the ~325 price is going to be hard to find. I built the Arizona in 91 for my RC Combat competitions, and want a model of one of her turrets in 1/72nd to match my other Takoma turrets.

Ooooooops I had painted the flaps the wrong way around, time to rub back and spray the green and blue on the opposite sides...easy at this stage 🙃

Thanks for compliment.

 

I tried to get the 1/32 catapult that i know is out of production but was hoping an old kit was kicking around somewhere for sale.
