Hello everybody! This is my completed model of the USS Texas in 1/350 from trumpeter. I completed this model a few months back, and I am just now getting around
to posting it.

This build was:

My first attempt at PE.
My first attempt at weathering.
My first attempt at anything as small as 1/350 scale.

It was also 100% hand painted.(I don't own an airbrush)

It was built mostly OOB, with a few scrachbuilt pieces. Most notable of these would be the blastbags, as the kit did not include any.
