Hello all
We received these parts in issue 60(bow) and 61(stern) in Japan and indicated to delete or cut them so that the form of these parts may be united with the form of the each builder’s hull.
Each hull was freely built by each builder and there was variation in the form of these hulls. On the other hand, these etching parts were industrially manufactured correctly based on a plan.
So, I think that we should correct so that the form of a hull may be united with the form of these etching parts. I did not obey the indication and made the form of the hull be united with them.
How do you think about this decision?
Best Regards,
Y.HONMA
PS
DeAGOSTINI Japan’s “The AKAGI” official website is exhibited till July 2012. Anyone can visit there without any registration. You can see the parts list of Japanese 100-week-part-work series in it. The parts list might help you make the building plan for your model.
I am afraid it might break a rule here to indicate a specific URL directly. I put key words by which you use Google search engine to reach the URL.
