Well folks, as I begin rigging on the Arizona, I realize that it will take me a few months to complete the model. A dear friend has asked me to build him a model of the destroyer his dad served on during WW2. It is a Wilks class flush deck 4 stacker named U.S.S. Watters DD-115. Since he wanted a small sized model, I found a nice kit of the U.S.S. Ward DD-139 from Iron Shipwrights done at 1/350 scale. This will yield a model that will be 10-1/2" long. Parts are all resin and PE, with lots of detail. I only have pictures of the Watters to guide me, but there will be very few changes, in fact, I can probably get away with just changing the number. So, if you all don't mind, I am switching gears to get this model out for my friend as quickly has possible. I will post the build for you as I think you will find this type of ship very interesting. I am posting now, pictures of the Arizona as she is today, the rigging has begun in the stern area. Cheers, Dennis
