BB-57 South Dakota at 1/700 Scale

When I was making my BB-63 Uss Missouri, I saw that the Iowa class was a improvement of the South Dakota class, like cutting the hull and including a section with more boilers, another funnel and more secondary guns just in case.

So, some days ago I was in the mood of start a model of the South Dakota. It's based in the Halinski MK 1/1993 at 1/300 scale, but resized and repainted.

The reason for repainting is that the original paper model (OPM) has the decks painted in wood and gray, and the real ship was painted in dark blue, even the wood.

As today, I'm just printed part of the pieces, but I'm including the real color scheme of the ship, a picture of the Vought OS2U Kingfisher on board of my Missouri, and the first resized page of my model
