Trumper’s 1/200 scale Arizona

[Adrian Gosling 2Participant @adriangosling2]

I have recently bought this kit and the Trumper barrel and etch set and it all looks very good indeed.  However there is no information on the ‘rigging’.  The colour guide and instructions ignore this totally and with it being such a big kit, it’s very important.

Can anyone advise a good source of information on the Arizona?

I have bought a couple of books on it but they tend to shop it exploding or in its very early days.

I’m building it straight out of the box I think so as it was when in Pearl Harbour.

I would appreciate it if anyone could help.

Many thanks

Adrian Gosling

Hello Adrian  This my help . http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62452   Although a site dedicated to smaller scales and  the marine side of the  IPMS they are very much on the ball with the Arizona  kit . It may require a little bit of  going through   page after page of   text to find the answers to your questions but  it’s worth the effort . Best of luck with the build .

Thanks Dave, good lot of info there.  I havent come across the rigging bit yet but I’m only up to page 27!
