What a magnificent display! 1/200 is becoming an exciting scale to work in and having more subjects to choose from in that size will make for some spectacular displays.

That is a very beautiful model. Knowing the Arizona's fate seems to add a measure of heaviness to the diorama.

Looks great! Fantastic modelling! The only error I see is the US Flag. It would not be flown from the mast while the ship is moored. It would be flown on the staff on the fantail (while a jack, which in 1941 would have been the blue field of the US flag with 48 stars) would be flown from the jack staff on the bow. Again, fantastic work on the Arizona, and a great historic display!

Outstanding, excellent display. The figures give a real sense of activity whilst bringing to life the sheer size of the Ship.

Beautiful work.

A really magnificent build and interesting to see that Kostas went for a "dark measure" paint job. The typical Kostas touches like the launches running out mooring lines really bring it to life.
