Same ship and same reference drawing so it would be strange if it was otherwise (still, i traced her from the reference without touching your work, i can assure you, altough i found the 5/54 parts made by Timothy_C quite useful), you unfortunately bumped into scaling isses if i'm not wrong (she would be around 250-260 meters instead of 281); you plan to contribute or you want to reclaim the intention of working on Montana? that's all i have to know ;) (as i asked Colosseum about the argument after reading somewhere on the board that he might have planned to do her himself and got green light).

Being a huge fan of American Battleships, I love this. Excellent work so far!

I'm thinking to also show the battleship in a possible configuration as commissioned with a stronger 40/20mm AA suite (montana beign commissioned in 1945 with a 3 year building time like the Iowas?) and another one for later ships (coming around 1947 or later) with 76mm guns for AA.
YES
If you draw this ship, the version must be the "1946-1948".
Because, at best, the first ship will be "keel laid down" by mid-1943, hull launched by late 1945 and commissioned by mid/late-1946.

Your drawing must be have:
- twin 76mm replacing quadruple 40mm bofor
- any single 20mm, and only a handfull of twin 20mm
- same radars/sensors used on the Salem/Worcester US cruisers (ships completed around 1948)

For the 1948 radar suit, I suggest you look at my Balder class, it has the radar suit of that era:
