USS Washington (BB-56, 11/1942), Trumpeter

David
Current state of the build. Approx. 85 % of the "Kirishima Killer" complete.

David
Most of the secondary battery in place.

David
A small progress, all the 5'', 1.1'' and Oerlikon cannons in place.

David
Rigging done. What remains is the Mk 9 spotting glass on a top of the conning tower, the rear Mk 4 radar, anchor chains, railings, flags, OS2U..

Dave Flitton
Nice build!! What did you use for rigging?

David
Thank you, Dave! It's the UNI-Caenis 20 Denier thread (it's a synthetic monofilament and as such it can be tightened using heat).

Dave Flitton
Kudos!!

David
Basically done. Some minor adjustments will happen yet (the 48-star flag instead of the current one etc.). I'll try to place the appropriate rank flag as well, as it is almost impossible to have this ship not connected with RADM Lee.

What really remains is the crew and the waterbase...

Patrick Hagelstein
Wow! On that first picture I could have sworn it was 1/350! Amazing! 👍

Sven Schönyan
