Thanks Paul. It gives me some ideas
The portholes on the Tserasivich appear to be half the size of the ones on your Arizona.

That's why it can be really helpful to share builds. I am learning all the time from everyone's builds. Learned a neat trick to make headlight lenses yesterday from a Farcebook post.

There is a big model show in Chattanooga next April that I think Squadron is putting on.

Saw one of the vendors is Jef, from Steel Pot Studios. It will be cool to meet him.

I thought that in the process of making the portholes round I had made them to large. After looking at the real ones I think I'm within the acceptable diameter. I think Trumpeters are too small.

References always pay off if you can find them.

Fair representation works for me. Round, hole, ship it's a port hole.

Got the hull halves glued up.
The bilge keels on.
Rudder on.
Replacing the gun barrels with the aftermarket ones.
Had to rework the stern torpedo tube.
Sanding down more exaggerated weld seams on the lower hull. I've left the one's on the armor belt though as looking at photographs they appear more pronounced.
The decks and midship turret guns are not glued yet.

Will this be your base also?
