I purchased some 3D printed US navy ladders and floater baskets in 1/200 scale from the Mid west hobby shop. Although they are for the USS Missouri , they fit perfectly on the Arizona.

Hey Brian,
The speed with which you're getting through this build puts my humble efforts to shame. She's looking really good. I just have to ask, what did you use to replicate the AVGAS pipe along the port side? Particularly, what have you used as mounts/spacers along the pipeline?
Hi Steve, thank you.
With regards to the avgas line and brackets, I simply used fine brass rod for spacers . I drilled holes and glued the brass rod into the hull, then snipped them off to length . I then added the Avgas line to the tips of brass rod ( if you are following what I'm trying to say ). I used brass wire picture frame line from the local hardware store. Not sure how accurate this is, but it’s what I had laying around.
The Midwest Model Shop have started producing some really nice 3D printed products. Looking at some of their Titanic additions. Did it take long to arrive from the US after you ordered?
Steve,
They do excellent mail order to Australia and I have purchased from them several times. About a week for delivery.
