Thanks Rgmarine and hello craftsworkers,

The lower hull now has its final finish with coats of flat red paint. The propellers and drive shafts have been installed.

The Seven-inch gun casemate decks are next. Connecticut get six of these guns on each side.

I included an historical photo from “Navsource” to show the actual drive shaft installation. It’s a great view of all the stern detail.

Regards,
Mike
