1/426 scale Arizona by Revell. I built this right out of the box and painted it similar to the box art. I added a little rigging with black thread and a little stretched sprue. This was the first time I ever tried stretched sprue for rigging so some of it is off a bit. I have been a ship modeler since the late 70's but took a 15 year break in the mid 90's. I am back at it again and am trying some of the techniques I have seen on here. Mike.

Looks great! :thumbs_up_1: I must have built a dozen of these when I was younger. Are they including the yardarms from her final fit now or did you scratchbuild those?

Matt, the yardarms were in the kit. It had a small photo etch set with it. I built this one last year and it was the first time I ever tried photo etch. I messed up the crane but I was able to get the yardarms to work out. I built this kit a few times myself over the years but put a lot more effort into this one. Thanks, Mike.
