I disagree. The kit bulges are not irreparable
The issue is not the width so much as the lack of a slope to the top of the bulge. These can be filed down. A comparison to a cross-section of her hull with the bulge can be found in Friedman's US Battleship book. That's how I handled it, & I think it came out reasonably well. I mean, it is 1/700.
