Hi Andy She sure is looking good, well done. I've decided to stick the decks down as well, like Yaturo, once she's in the display cabinet, she won't get touched. Phil You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.
Building - Bismarck, Akagi, Warspite, Gato, USS Enterprise (carrier) and D51

Looks great Andy. I have enjoyed watching the build, will you weathering her or leaving her as new? “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Andy! Your building seems to going well. The truss structures are painted perfectly as usual. A search light, especially its lens, under the flight deck looks realistic. I'm waiting for your next progress toward the goal. Best Regards, Yutaro DeAGOSTINI 1/250 the YAMATO, 1/250 the AKAGI.

Hi All A few more pic's on progress, more platforms have been added to the bow hangar area and more ladders to the upper hangar. All the large anti aircraft mounts have now been added aswell .Some small fittings to the upper hangar added and finally the two drain pipes and booms added to the hull. There is a set of decals to add to the forward flight deck but I will be adding these at a later date as after the decks are permamently fixed I will be flipping her over to compleat the lower hull screw/rudder area then painting it before attaching the stand and flipping back regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Making great progress Andy and I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished model, though I know that is some way off yet?
She should be a stunner and will make a nice companion to your 1:16 Zero!!

Hi Yaturo Thanks for your comments always appreciated, after the lower hull is completed I can concentrate on the top decks just one thing preventing the final stick down is the rear hangar door part that comes with the last issue regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Kev Thanks for looking in and your comments , yes the Zero will go down well with the ship she flew from on that fatefull day in December plus all the smaller aircraft on the deck , mind you I have nearly got the Japanese fleet with the Yamato 1/700 Akagi and Shinano aircraft carriers maybe I should get a few destroyers to shield the capitol ships regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
