Well is beena while since my last update due to a number of reasons getting in the way and restricting my model time. Things like work, family time, being too cold in my garage where I model, I have not long owned the house so not had the chance yet to insulate it. Here is a small update on what I have done since the last one, one thing not shown is the main number 1 turret now primed ready for paint. Also no picture of the Mitsubishi aircraft that is now painted, gloss coated and almost finished decalling. Shielded 25mm guns painted, barrels painted and everything sealed with matt varnish  Number 2 secondary turret finshed with the addition of ladders and railings then primed ready for paint  Somoke stack top sprayed black, this was really difficult due to all those pipes and etch, used blue tac to mask up, its not perfect but im happy with it, also gloss coat added ready for declas  Flight deck sticker added, initially I though this was a decal so I added a gloss coat, will seal with matt varnish  Chain painted as wasnt happy with the Kure grey I had painted it, also platform added  A few small details added near the break water  Dry transfer  Dry transfers on both sides, I know the join between the hull pars and rescored panel lines are not the neatest but bear in mind this is taken in macro mode with full zoom, in he flesh I am quite happy with my effort  And finally open 25mm and main gun barrels final matt coat applied
