Looking good Stephane ! Is that Navy blue or Sea blue you used for the hull colour? The shades are very close so it can be difficult to tell from a photo.
I like the strakes you scratch built on the lower hull, stops it from being bland and the fuel pipe would seem like a painless operation, both add to the detailing of the model. Was the fuel pipe fitted on both sides or only on the port side?
Are you still going to fit the PE ladders to the superstructure?
I also see a Fletcher class destroyer lurking behind the Arizona on your shelf, how about some photos of that build too?
cheers,
Julian

Interesting to hear you went for Navy blue too Stephane, in the sunlight you can see the difference in shades that are possible from one colour.
Your English is a lot better than my French
Cheers,
Julian
