Try this one on for size. Today's second mystery ship entry...

For identification, I'll take the class of ship, with brownie points for the exact one.

Don't know if I was cheating, but I had The Imperial Japanese Navy In The Pacific War, by Mark E. Stille open to page 130, exact match!

If it is a 1/200 scale ship, it might be the Trumpeter USS Arizona converted to the Pennsylvania.

USS Arizona (BB-39). It was the only one with all turret tops painted red. Pennsylvania had 2 white and 1 blue.

I know the US was replacing the cage masts with tripod masts at the time of Pearl Harbor, but I thought the Arizona still had the cage mast.

Arizona received tripod masts during her 1929-30 refit.

Man you guys are good. Correct. [8D]

Anything other than the red turret tops that would be different from the Pennsylvania?

Yes - the name plate on her stern.
