Arizona Details

Paul Stilwell's Battleship Arizona is perhaps the best reference, but there's a quick and easy way to get what you need... www.digitalnavy.com has a model (in paper) on their website you can download for free of Arizona's turret. Roman Detyna did the patterns, and he's one of the best paper modelers I've ever met. His stuff is accurate.

Indeed. I was perusing the build pages on the Arizona, and I was impressed by numerous esoteric details that he got right and that plastic makers have usually gotten wrong. He actually made the 5" secondary guns as open mounts (which they are) instead of the incorrect casemented turrets as done on Revell Arizonas and most subsequent ones by other makers as well.
