ffg7correct the torpedo bulges & the stern area where the prop shafts come out of the hull like i'm doing in this link. shipmodels.info/mws_..hp?f=59&t=165105

Mark DeBackerImpressive work. I am doing the 1936 Arizona (post-Hunter's Point) but I do not believe that the hull was modified at that time. Was it done earlier?

Mark DeBackerI have Stillwell's outstanding "Battleship Arizona" book and will take a look there as well.

ffg7torpedo bulges was installed during her modernization period of 1929 to 1931.

the stern correction is needed because Revell screwed up that area.
"The lower hull below the waterline at the stern is completely wrong. Paul Stilwell's "Battleship Arizona: An Illustrated History, shows a more chubby bottom without the compound curve seen on the kit"

when i did the stern correction & torpedo bulges, i used styrene plastic with hardly any putty as i learned that lesson when rebuilding my old wooden office desk.
