ARIZONA -- 1/200 -- TRUMPETER
Posted by tankerbuilder on Monday, May 16, 2011 7:03 PM

Well.I have worked for two days and I,ve gotten this far. Hawse hole lips corrected. Mold lines sanded off bottom . 5" AA and 5"/38 gun bases done .  Now tomorrow I shall do the barrels and keep on keepin on. The parts fit is excellent so far ,,with  few noticeable mold lines .The parts are small so if you are working on this model , DO NOT feed the carpet monster !! The parts do NOT have extras except the 5"38 gun and then it isn,t very much. Be careful and I believe when you finish you will be satisfied with the model . By the way , for those of you who don,t know , the w/t doors on this model CAN BE replaced with the TOM,S MODELWORKS 1/192 set. They are exactly the same size.      good luck     tankerbuilder
