Thanks again, gentlemen!Yes, Steve, all turrets and fittings are available. Good luck with your builds!
Like you, I also intend to make a 1/192
Baltimore,
USS Saint Paul actually, but after
USS Saratoga CV-3.
Here's where the inspiration came to build
Missouri:
Here are some photos I took of the official
USS Missouri builders model as it appeared
at the Smithsonian Museum of American History
in Washington DC in 1987. The model now rests at the Navy Museum, Washington Navy Yard
in Washington DC.
Scale: 1/48
Length: 19 feet (228 inches -or- 5.79 meters)
The model was built by Gibbs and Cox Company in New York and
delivered to the Navy on 22 January 1951. See here for more
information about the model:

Haze Gray overall with very dark gray decks and interior splinter shields.
