1/700 USS Arizona Dragon Kit
It felt good to finish this, and I'm pleased how it turned out.
I have messed around over the years with a few models (mainly trying to figure out how to do PE), but never finished them.. This is the first one in over 20 years I have finished.
Maybe down the road I will add some PE railing, if I get brave enough.

I had so much fun I have already started my next project: 1/700 USS Iowa 1984 Trumpeter kit.

Very nice! Is that a real wood deck or an awesome paint job?

Great job again!

Thanks.

It's a wood deck. I don't think I will ever do another model without using a wood deck, it makes the model look 100x better.

Wood deck looks awesome... and those anchor chains (I'm a sucker for that :heh: )
