Hey David, I will revisit your builds as I have not committed to anything yet.

I would say since the hull case mates ended aft of Turret 1 on the New Mexico class vs just ahead on the Pennsylvania class, he’s on the right track to make the necessary adjustments.

Eagerly watching to see more,

Matt

I agree with Mr. Church. This will be fun to watch.

Looking good. You do not see many models of the New Mexico Class. I do like their clipper bow. Looking forward to seeing your build progress.

Hey David, sorry it took so long to reply.

I started with a mock up to see where I'm at with the hull.

Image

Next, I had to make a working set of drawings. I used a light box and cut, aligned and taped the 8 1/2 x 11 copies from my printer.

Image

Now, all I needed was to correct to 1/350 scale.

Image

Image

Now comes the hard part, I will need to correct the shape of the hull using the line drawings shown here.

Image

Thanks again David for the download. More to follow...

I will be kitbashing the 1/350 Hobby Boss USS Arizona into the USS Idaho BB-42 using plans given to me and images of a 1/700 model, both of which were sourced from the forum and gallery.
