USS Texas BB-35 1/350

I do not want to get into anything remotely political, but as a long time fan of this ship and a contributor to her restoration, this news story (related to today and BB-35) really pisses me off!

I read about this the other day. If I were a restaurant owner I would welcome the ship as it could increase foot traffic.
However, I understand wanting to have the Harbor view instead of the grey girl.
But, from a business point of view... increase the foot traffic for more revenue.
 
I put the initial coat down, also to see if I like the Pacific Theater color. I like it. The last time I was aboard the Texas she had this color on.i still have a lot more to do, especially the aft deck.
I don't know if I'll do any weathering or keep it as a museum piece. Kind of leaning to no weathering, but then again if I do it would be subtle.

Sweet. PM
 
Plugging away. The smaller guns are very tedious.

So far this has been a really good kit. There isn't any flash, and the parts fit without any issues. Of the PE parts, the baskets are a little difficult to bend in a half curve.
Other than a couple of things theis is a fun kit, and something to take my time and enjoy.
