1/350 USS Guam CB-2 (Iron Shipwrights)
USS Guam CB-2 as she appeared in May of 1945. Ship is in the new '45 version of Measure 22 with #27 Haze Grey 5-H and #7 Navy Grey 5-N as its primary colors.
Model is a Iron Shipwrights 4-046 USS Alaska CB-1 1/350 resin kit with
slight modifications to the USS Guam in 1945. Model is true to life
as the Alaska as she was built in 1944 when she was in her dazzle pattern
camouflage. Had to add a antenna mast aft, reposition some of
the ships 20 mm guns, and add the aircraft she carried in 1945.
Only problem encountered was in trying to move around this huge one piece hull. Large resin ship kits are HEAVY.
