Robbo, you are correct. This is an entirely different building style for me. Basically paint and detail in sections like each part is a separate kit.

Working on the stacks and forward superstructure now. Yeah, I agree Steve. I hate naval photo etch.

Probably time for an update in here.

I got all the main turrets and 5 inch turrets painted with the photo etch applied, as well. I also got the three superstructure sections built and painted but have not applied most of the photo etch to those sections yet. I then did a test fit of everything to the deck but nothing was glued.
