Turned out to be a little more work than anticipated, but pleased overall with how it came out.

CaptGPFLove the cockpit details - is it safe to assume this will be done with the canopy open?

JohnHi Capt, thanks for the comments and likes. 👍
I would dearly like to keep the canopy open but it may not be possible. For whatever reason, Hasegawa designed it to be closed only, at least the front canopy. I could fabricate some rails no problem, but the issue is that the main canopy is too narrow to fit over the fixed section right behind it. I saw a build where they managed it, but it spread the canopy so much that stress cracks appeared in the plastic! I will probably just end up not gluing it so that it can at least be removed to show all the Quinta detail. At least it fits very well closed with no gaps.

JohnHi Dave and Rui, thanks! Getting close to the finish on this one. Undercoat turned out well enough that don't really need to use oils that much.

EgilmanYou are aware the ship was painted two weeks before the attack, right after she came out of drydock from her collision with the Oklahoma, prior to the collision in November '41 She was in Measure 1 Dark Grey, (almost black but badly chalked up) Absolute fact as proven by Navy records.... After that, there is no official proof of her being repainted, there are some post war color photography shots taken by Life magazine that show the unburned wreck part still out of the water clearly in a brighter blue color this was 12 years after the attack....
She was looking brand new when she sank... NARA researchers (me being one of them) have narrowed it down to the last two weeks of November when she was painted, she made her trial run after her repairs as a freshly painted 5S Sea Blue ship with 5L Light Grey tops, (they left them as they were in measure 1) the hull was Norfolk anti fouling red, we feel pretty confident as we do have reports of the ship being loaded with paint pallets and members of the crew being ordered to repaint her during and after her repairs ... (although there is some discrepancy in the verbal reports, some crewmembers said bright blue others said battleship grey, but to a man they complained that whatever color it was it took five coats to get it to cover the Dark Grey, they were not happy with that, there are scads of reports from other ships hand repainting in 5S Sea Blue that report the exact same thing it didn't cover worth crap)
As far as the Turret colors, yes they were Red, Turrets #1,2 & 4 had insignia red turret tops confirmed, we have the US Navy orders in hand that made it happen and US Navy photographic proof that it was carried out long before the attack... (after the orders were issued, there are official photos showing the Arizona with a different color on her turret tops that cannot possibly be cause by anything other than a different color... Put two and two together...
Great modeling job, fantastic showing of the results of your weathering techniques, unfortunately they are incorrect for the ship and the time period you have depicted...
