I'm placing all the platforms aft and around the funnel, same as the main deck equipment. As now, the ship has very few unpainted surfaces.
My usual way to work is to place the platforms and levels, and later start to fill them with machinary. This time I need to change that, assembling full subsections and gluying them in site later.
I'm a bit worried with the space right aft the funnel, where the sections 9 goes. Not only the instructions are sketchy, the pictures are too, and there was a remodelation of the ship that changed this section, including a third crane and more 5 inch guns.
No, no, no, the crane existed during the shakedown trials on 1942, and were on both sides... it means that my paper model is based on the ship as was on August 1943. Not Guadalcanal but Marshall Islands and a lot of heavy action.
I learned the name of the hull trench, is called... hull slot. ok!
