going to kitbash a Revell 1/429 scale Arizona into that South Dakota. going to lengthen & widen the hull plus redo the bow like I have done using the same Arizona hull to do a Tennessee & Colorado hulls.


Should be an interesting build. Have to post updates when you start working on it. I ended up getting IHP 1/700 South Dakota kit before they stopped production on their resin line. Going to do a 'as is' build, depicting her as she would have looked as built.
