1/350 Missouri Project Starting, help welcome

Am starting my project tonight and this weekend so I thought I would see if anyone has any helpful suggestions for making this as easy as possible. I have the GMM PE set for her and I would like to make the ship 1/2 hull for a display but have never done it. I have a dremel tool, all I lack is experience[:0] with it. Have built a 1/700 Indianapolis with PE so I am not totally ignorant of ships. [:D]

To start you should paint small parts and even supertruture before you glue them to the hull, paint the deck before too, assemble parts by areas and paint them, try not to close areas where you can’t reach after, for paintin or PE. Allways look if it’s not missing anything befour you glue the parts together. Good work.
