Lovely work. And quite an improvement over the original kit parts.
I have a 1/700 Hiei kit myself and would be interested getting an upgrade pagoda set.

You could use the lower hull from one of the Fujimi kits and just cut down the very stern. Blisters though? I dont think they are comparable, as ship had added blisters and lengthened stern. Or?

It looks amazing. It‘s built from Fujimi's new kit. Sorry for letting you misunderstand. I placed it beside KAJIKA‘s 1/700 KONGO(I have to make a scratch for it) for comparison. The Kongo Class battleships have the same characteristic in strakers so they are extreamly alike. (KAJIKA‘s Kongo is highly accurate in strakers) Are you building a lower hull for the Kajika Kongo ca 1914? I am very interested to know how you did this. Do you have plans for the lower hull? Id like to try the same and build Kongo in original shape.
