 I have the book called "The Rivet Counter 1"  which features Don Preul,  the master builder of the USS Arizona 1/96 scale model on display at Pearl Harbor. It does show any ladders on the front of funnel??

[USS Arizona funnel question]

  I have purchased a 3D printed funnel for the 1/350 USS Arizona to replace the hobby boss kit funnel, just ready to add photo etch railing etc. I was wondering how sailors would get to very top of funnel???

 Seen no blueprints that show ladder(s) in this area, but  I have seen ladder(s) on the front of the funnel on 1/200 scale models of the USS Arizona!  Does anyone have actual pictures that show the ladder(s) on the front of funnel, in it late 1941 reconfiguration?  or is this how model builders think it should have been????

Where horizontal and vertical surfaces painted blue gray also were captain's gig boats paint blue grey with white tops?

Working on Hobby boss 1/350.
