Trumpeter 1/350 USS Arizona


 This is my 2012 build of the mighty Battleship Arizona kit by Trumpeter. I added the detail set done by Tom's Model Works. I also used EZ Line which if your a ship modeler and don't use this stuff, get some off EBay NOW! It is amazing stuff to do model ship rigging with. I painted the wood decking in a few different shades of tan and brown. I used a fine detail brush to draw thin lines of darker browns and tans to simulate planks. I used an unfinished drawer front I got at the IKEA scratch and dent isle for a base and made a display case out of acrylic to fit it. (That will be another article...)



 The flags on 1/350 scale models are always the worst part of the build, because they always come out like crap for me. This one was no different.
Note the EZ Line rigging running fore and aft. GET THIS STUFF!

The port and starboard mast arrays were the best part of the detail set!

Thanks for looking!
