This model kit superstructure is intended as a more accurate and much better detailed option for modelers building a 1/350 scale USS Arizona BB-39 model kit as the ship appeared following modifications made at Puget Sound Navy Yard from January, 1941 until the ship's destruction at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.
 
Fighting tops, Mk.19 fire control dirctors, and 1.1 inch director platforms are available separately.

This is a multi-part kit.  These parts were designed for a tight fit.  3D-printed gray resin is more brittle than polystyrene plastic kit parts.  If necessary, trim parts to fit rather than force them.
 
This model was designed from scans of official US Navy drawings of the actual ship.  It is not a 3D-printed copy of any plastic or resin model kit's parts.  Therefore, this model may be differently sized and shaped than the parts of your plastic or resin model kit.  Some adjustment to your plastic or resin model kit's parts, or other aftermarket parts such as wooden deck or photo-etch, may be necessary for best fit.

Features:
Overall dimensions and features scaled from scans of official US Navy shipyard blueprints obtained from the National Archives with details confirmed from shipyard photos.
Complete tripod, properly aligned with an accurate height, with associated platforms, and drain pipe detail on the aft legs (a fighting top is available separately).
Detailed armored conning tower of the correct scale thickness with recesses representing two sizes of accurately shaped and positioned vision slits.
Conning tower rooftop persicopes (periscopes are very fragile, please handle and paint with care).
Accurately shaped signal deck.
Properly shaped navigation bridge and pilot house.
Open venturi (wind deflector) on the splinter shield forward of the pilot house.
Open windows and 18" diameter airports (portholes) all around.
Splinter shield rib details.
Ventilators, accurately sized, shaped and positioned, of different types.
4 peloruses.
Drum-shaped radio direction finder cover.
Flag lockers.
Three different types of closed weather-tight doors of the proper "standard pressed panel" type (48" x 26" on the anti-aircraft station, 56" x 26" on the flag bridge weather protection enclosures, and 66" x 26" elsewhere - as per US Navy blueprints), all with "dog" (clamp) and hinge detail.
Pedestals for searchlight, Mk.19 fire control directors and 22' rangefinder (searchlight, fire control directors and rangefinder not included).
Heavy supporting structure details.
Accurately sized and located deck and platform openings for 4 different widths of inclined ladders (ladders not included).* 
Parts separated where bulkheads meet a deck to help make deck painting easier.
 
* If you intend to add photo-etch ladders to the tripod platforms, please note that the openings in the real tripod's "machine gun platform" and triangular "futtock platform" were very small for very narrow ladders, much narrower than standard inclined ladders. The real opening in the tripod's "machine gun platform" was just 24" wide x 27" long. The real opening in the tripod's triangular "futtock platform" was just 28" wide by 32" long. Those widths work out to be just over 0.75 mm wide in 1/700 scale. This 3D-printed model has accurately sized openings.  Typical 1/700 scale photo-etch ladders will not fit through those openings.  Instead, choose photo-etch ladders that are no wider than 0.75 mm for best fit.
