Back in February, I mentioned I was almost done building a model of the USS Arizona. I finished it shortly after that, and I haven't put up any pictures of it until now.
The colors that were outlined in the model instructions are roughly what I used to paint it. But the model is an old one that they haven't updated in a long time - experts now believe the colors were much different from what most people think. Most, if not all, the pictures of the Arizona that anyone kept track of were black and white, which makes determining the true colors more difficult.
Here is an article about a model that is at Pearl Harbor today, and the colors it uses.
Some details on the USS Arizona itself are here.
