Very impressive, and inspirational. rant. You'd think that with all the great improvements they've made to the basic kit that Eduard, or somebody, would come out with a better after market way to portray the 5" broadside casement guns.

Gunny, The upgrade PE set (they have 2 sets) did away with some of the bad things that we have had to live with on the Arizona (weird port holes and such) and they replaced it with PE but if you notice they didn't do a great job on the windows and with a scale of 1/350 they could have done a much better job on the fighting tops. With all that said I'll be purchasing a 1/350 Arizona and I'll get this PE set and also the PE set from GMM (I like there stuff) then I'll have an almost complete brass Arizona....LOL!
