Stallion11,

  If you are talking about the two G37's and two G38's, they are for 1.1 inch quadruple machine guns mounts that were never installed on the ship at the time of the attack. Those guns were to be installed at the next upgrade at Bremerton. If those are not the platforms in question, could you reference a page  or part number.Jon

if 2 of them are aft on the quarterdeck near no. 3 turret and the other 2 are on the boat deck just forward of the bridge structure, they are for quad 1.1" aa guns which were not installed at the time of pearl harbor. not sure how much work other than the shield was done, ie. ammo racks on the inside of the shield, electrical hookups. earlier, i believe 1937, the 2 forward tubs had 5"/51 surface guns like the ones in the casemates.

aft inboard of the gun tubs on either side is a large deck plate. on the model is this planked, as it should be, or is it shown as a metal plate?

I am currently building the 1/200 Arizona from Trumpeter.  There are 4 circular platforms on the main deck that do not have anything in them. They look like mounts for some type of gun, but the kit does not have anything for these spots. .  Does anyone know what belongs there?
