The person who correctly guesses the ship and year gets to keep it... er...on second thought, maybe not!

Wow, that is really cool. My guess is that it is BB55 North Carolina circa 1943-1944. I can’t wait to see it is finished. Looks great so far. I like the lines of the bow and the turrets. The 5-38 turrets look great. The dazzle cammoflage pattern actually works pretty well... it is hard to make out the lines of the ship in the photos.

Don’t know if you already know of this site, but I have found it full of very interesting information and pictures of many warships. It looks like the site is being revamped so alot of the information appears to be offline.

here is the page on the North Carolina

There is also great discussion boards with several veterans who have had the priveledge to serve on some of these great ships who post regularly.

Thanks for sharing... it looks like it is shaping up to be a very impressive model
