      Revell 1/426 scale USS Arizona BB-39

      By Wolfman63 · Posted

      The third week of the USS Arizona I continued adding railings. I then ran into an issue. The second level of the superstructure has a piece that the instructions want you to add to the rear end. However after reviewing photos in the reference book the section they are trying to represent is actually a part of the smoke stack. This led me to do a deep dive into the smoke stack details. There are none in the kit. So I switched to modify the stack. The section towards the superstructure was scratch built. I then cut open the funnel on top and removed the vent pipe on the aft side of the stack. I replaced this vent and added the other vent ducts. I cut off the vents on the funnel and scratch built ones that match the reference photos. With the smoke stack detailing completed I went back adding more photo etch railings to the upper levels of the superstructure. I am hoping to get the superstructure built up and the forward mast assembled this coming week. You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: https://davidsscalemodels.com/build-log/1-426-uss-arizona-bb-39/
