Completed today: the 1967 vintage Pyro kit of USS Washington, decked out in an approximation of Measure 12R paint. It's an old kit, and things don't line up really well. But it was a fun project. The AA suite is certainly not 1942-accurate, but "it'll do".

In this day and age of always going for the next level in detail and accuracy, it's refreshing to see an old classic cleanly built.
