Hi all,

Short question: how to attach my metal wood deck on the plastic deck of hasegawa 201?
Should i sand down all pannel lins and than cement the metal piece from voyager or just attach it on the pannellines with presummably a gape?

Kind regards,

Henk

The Hasegawa new-tool of the Akagi has been released.

The triple-deck Kaga in 1/700 is by Fujimi.

Fujimi is also doing a 1/350 Kaga in her full-deck version.

Remember, there's a reason I have my Upcoming Releases thread!

Howdy, Y'all.

Isn't there a recent, or soon-to-be-released, Hasegawa Akagi? I don't know if it's a new-tooled kit, or an upgraded version of the old one. The original, with the added weapons set, was my first ship after returning to the hobby.

And, wasn't there a 3-deck Kaga in the works by, was it, Aoshima?

I'm putting together my list for Santa. He can scratch off the Tamiya Saratoga, because I just broke down and ordered it. That's so he can bring me an Ark Royal.

What a year for carrier fans!

Hi, cruiser163. Geno asked about carriers; I think most of us agree with your assessment.

In my opinion?FUJIMI is better than hasegawa?If I not miss your meaning ?fujimi has two type of Akagi?one is battle cruiser Akagi(but it just a plan in history? another is aircraft carrier ?theaircraft carrier has two versions,full hull and waterline).there is also a two ships version:FUJIMI band yamato and Akagi together.(It's a little cheap than you buy each one ).
I am not sure I can upload picture,I will try. this is the frist time I RE the topic.

i would agree that the new fujimi kit is superior to the 35+ year old Hasegawa kit.

Go for this one: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114877, it's bout the best there is in 1/700 imho.

Fujimi make a 1/700 full hull Akagi, there are others, but they are variations of the one above, with PE, water bases, ans other ships.

Can anyone give me some advice on the best 1/700 Akagi carrier kit? I have the old Hasegawa kit but I see Fujimi has a newer release. Are there multiple versions of the Fujimi kit? I see a huge range of prices out there. Help. Thanks.
