Hi All!
Hachette collection Japan started a new part work seriese of 1:250 Akagi model in Japan on Sept 21st 2022. Of course I started it without hesitation.

The biggest difference is "hull" between DeAGOSTINI model and Hachette one. DeAGOSTINI model's hull has to be cut out by builders. Hachette model's hull is made of a lot of metal parts. I like DeAGOSTINI model better because I can achieve a Akagi model with high degree of freedom by my self. On the other hand, Hachette model has several interesting gimics in it. I hope to enjoy them.
They make "How to Build" video on YouTube, any one can watch and realize the process of building the model.

So I will post only my enhance process of the model here.
Carrier-based boats and small parts are still gray. I painted them. Some linoleum floors are also gray, I had to paint them.
Best Regards,
Yutaro
