This model kit superstructure part is intended to help the modeler convert any 1/200 scale USS Arizona BB-39 model kit to sistership USS Pennsylvania BB-38 in her final wartime appearance. This model represents the Navigating Bridge and Sky Lookout Platform above it, the uppermost decks of the ship's enormous forward command and control tower. The tower featured distinctive fighting top, supporting tripod, air defense station, Mk.37 fire control director bases, and signal deck.
Use of an airbrush to paint this model is recommended. Surface smoothing, especially in less-accessible areas, can be achieved using an "air eraser" (click here to see one example among many).
