Yeah...I had a dilemma because I cut-and-pasted Hanksters original post with the incorrect spelling. I left it that way because I was quoting him and I didn't want to muddy the post by adding (sic) or spelling it differently . And it just seemed rude to try and fix it.
I even had to edit my post because the damn thing took the all-uppercase word and made all but the first letter lower case after I hit the "submit" button.
I like having fun with you folks. Which is why I sometimes drop in with a spelling correction. We do this in the production office all the time and it is great fun for all, as we are "fined" a quarter for every misspelling that someone catches from someone else's work.
Those quarters are dropped into a large jar, and at the end of the year are awarded to whomever has had the least or no misspellings in his or her documents, emails, memos, etc. Kind of like collecting "pride dollars" at a rotary meeting.
Of course, it's a mixed bag, since the amount of money collected is based upon how many misspellings occur. In any case, it's still great fun.
I am planning to do a modernization of the Arizona.I am doing it with a scifi theme along the same lines as the Yamoto.I figured it would be a great project and a modelers tribute to the original.I am going to try my best at it,if it goes well I will do a similar scheme to the mighty Moe.Comments are welcome.
improvise,adapt and overcome.we are the fellowship of modelers.

I considered doing that a few years ago. Disney had talked about doing a live action Space Cruiser Yamoto. They were going to Americanize it and call it Space Cruiser Arizona. When the project was dropped I was going to try my hand at creating the space craft. I think life got in my way and I never got around to it. Maybe someday.....

I've thought about trying that project a few times myself. The only problem is, what the Japanese see as a fitting tribute, some Americans might consider sacrilege. I satified myself doing "Space Cruiser New Jersey" myself, grafting the rear half of a 1/48 F-18 to a 1/532 Monogram New Jersey. Looked pretty neat. It's currently up on blocks, but If I ever get the refit finished, I'll post some pics.
Arizona....a tribute
