Magnificent model. Looks great James. I see you didn't buy the add-on PE set, (or are you waiting to fit the pieces?).
Keep the pic's coming when you paint the build. Rather curious to see how it looks built. Have it in my stash and considering it as next build.
Cheers,
Julian

I've got the Trumepter update set but I would like to get the White Ensign set when it's released for the railings. The Trumpeter update set has a lot of nice ladders and as you can see the brass gun barrels.

Build is looking great! I am working on the same kit, just a reminder that due extensive research and contact with David Martinez of the Pearl Harbor National Parks, if you want to do the Arizona in the day prior to Dec 7 '41, probably from Sept '41, she was painted in S-5 Sea Blue with the red turret tops (except for the turret with the catapult. Mr. Martinez is the curator of the Arizona Memorial
