SeanF observed some minor differences in the Nevada class thread here: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6515#p361299

De quoi s'agit-il?

There were several structural differences between the two ships at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. The most obvious is the location and shapes of the searchlight and 50 caliber machine gun platforms on both masts. The forward superstructures were different in large and small ways. The boat cranes were different. The shape as well as the orientation of the mainmast "bird bath" platform was different. There are other, more subtle differences also. Oklahoma had 3" guns fitted before PH attack but Nevada did not. Nevada had painted decks. Oklahoma had natural teak.

You could go a long way to making an Oklahoma kit into a Nevada kit with these excellent parts...
