In complete respect and remembrance of all of our brothers and sisters in harms way lost, and risking still, Louis Carabott [loucar] gives us a last glimpse at peace as the USS Arizona and her crew enjoy their time in Pearl Harbor, "On Display", at MSW.

Well, Louis, my hat must really come off to you as that kit is a real bear from which to produce such results.

Hello Louis

Very good, very good!
Good display, good weathering, good rigging... I have done a similar but in half size (my second 700th ship )
Congratulations, you have made a beautiful homage to the Arizona

I am humbled by the rigging just having recently recovered from my first WWI aircraft. Can you share your resource for the rigging diagram and equally important, how did you do the color and finishing of the wood decks? Beautiful and inspiring work. Ragards,
