Hello there...You have a very nice website with many very talented
modelers.I thought I'd send some pictures of one of mine.This is Tamiyas
1/350th Missouri which I've modified to depict the Iowa after her
January-March 1945 refit.Evergreen and Plastruct were used to modifiy the
superstructure and to constuct the 20mm platform on turret #2.It took me a
while to decide what blue to use for the measure 22 scheme for the hull. I
finally settled on Modelmaster dark sea blue since in some of the early
photos of the ship running trials off California the paint scheme seemed
quite dark.The upperworks were painted with Humbrol #127 ,the hull below the
waterline is Modelmaster British Crimson,and the horizontal surfaces are
Modelmaster Panzer Schwarzgrau.Gold Medal Models photo etching was used for
the finishing touches.I've been building models since I was 5 years old and
have done some commision work for people on occasion.My current project is a
1/100th scale Bismarck.I can be reached at k

Best wishes and happy modeling,
Kim Taylor
