It is impossible to believe that this is a card model. Spectacularly well-done - Congratulations on crossing the finish line!

what time period does the model represent during the war as appears when she was in the Atlantic(pre-PH)? the armor belt between the torpedo bulge to over the rudder should be noticeable as it is about 1.65mm thick on the model.

Ahoy!
Model represent New Mexico in 1942

the blue used on the tops of the turrets plus other areas appears to be Robin's Egg Blue instead of 5-S Sea Blue.
