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.

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...

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.

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

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

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