The guy who would know for sure is Tracy White. I'd wait and see what he says.

Yeah again B1, I only hope my Arizona turns out half a nice.

Thanks all. Yeah as far as the turret color I had a sheet that said true blue, but I also read that it was red. I went with blue but that's an easy change since the turrets are not glued into place.

Great looking build B1,

The water looks fantastic. Yes Yes You should do more ships. I personally wouldn't know the difference between the Arizona and the Pennsylvania. My grandfather was stationed on the Penn about 2 years prior to Pearl.

The only thing I see is that the top of 4 I think should be red.

Yes I believe your right.

USS Pennsylvania.

Finished this up about a week ago. Its the Revell USS Arizona Kit that I tried to turn into the Pennsylvania. About all I really did was ad some PE Rails and Bits. I ran out of PE rail and made some out of wire strands for the superstructure portion. Is this build accurate ? Nope of course not, far from it. This was more of an escape from the usual aircraft that I build. I tried as best I could to get close to the 5D that I read she was painted in at the time of the Pearl Harbor Attack. Sorry for the quality of the pictures. I took them with my phone which has the photo capabilities of a potato. Big Smile
