The Ship Model Forum

I can provide a libk to the Hiraga archive containing the plans as well as the preliminaries.

Someone just posted what look like original plans for the Amagi class on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122117904980273974&set=pcb.1736173153858333

Thx for posting.

For anybody interested, the development of the Tosa class battleships, the preliminary designs. All of them are based on official plans:

My drawing of the final Tosa design as laid down:

And a hypothetical 1930's modernization ala Nagato:

Here's the book and one of the relevant sections.

Coming back to this project. I just realized that I was being an idiot and was viewing the Tosa casemates as flush with the rest of the hull....

...this is without her bloody armor belt. :doh_1:

I'm not sure about the accuracy of resin parts included from the bridge and above. The citadel is too short, based on the builder's models. To be honest, the entire structure seems like it's been modeled a wee bit compressed. Interestingly enough, my spare 1920's Nagato base seems more accurate and likely easier to bash into something approaching the base of Tosa's pagoda. I plan to scratch build just about everything above this, based on level-by-level drawings in "Battleships and Battlecruisers of 'Hachi Hachi' Fleet"

Since the battle cruiser design was unrealized, it's impossible to say. Everything is just conjecture.

yes ,I'm asking because maybe they would be different after the trial of the fisrt 2 or correcting flaw in the initial design.

Have you read through the previous page?

are the atago and the amagi/akagi similar? (I want to do him by using a fujimi amagi)

[quote="Aop Aur"]So, would that be the case that the Amagi would have had the same upgrade?[/quote]
More than likely, yes.

You bet. Kaga's as well, though not as crisp.

I believe these are in the Japanese language book on the 8-8 plan I have, but in such a high resolution. Thank you! I'm seeing details I would have missed.

Yeah...

The hull appears mostly correct, per Hiraga drawings. Her casemates are... odd, however. I'm unsure if I'll try to correct or live with the hull problems. At the end of the day, I'm not going to trash a "kit" I payed [redacted] for.
