Ship is in pre-war #5 Navy Gray. Model is the Classic Warships USS San Francisco CA-38 resin 1/350 kit. Had to back date this 1942 San Francisco into the USS Minneapolis. This involved removing all of the secondary armament gun tubs and reworking the bridge to pre 1.1" Quad AAA installation. Hanger deck platform extenders were made and additional boats were found and placed in their correct positons. I believe the Pre-World War II USN color scheme is my favorite. More later, Dave Becker P.S. Still have 4 Benson/Livermore class destroyer pics, CVE-66 White Plains, and the 1934 version of USS Pennsylvania Pic's to send. Plus, Tom's Modelworks USS Arizona and BWN USS California all in 1/350 resin to finish construction. Debating whether to do the BB's in Pearl Harbor colors or not? I dislike Measure 1 but I do not have any models in this pattern. -------------------------------------------------------------------- [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image]
