An incredible build.

Amazing detail work!
The model looks like 1/350th or larger. Great job!

[quote="gborman"]A fantastic build! Question please - What did you use for the rigging? Thanks! and v/r, Gene[/quote]

Thanks.
It's kind of fishing line made of special metal and the diameter is 0.04mm.

[quote="PetrolGator"]WOW.

Question, I see you sprayed the bridge with the linoleum brown to begin with. Did you paint the verticals grey by hand afterwards?[/quote]

Hi,
Almost all painting works are by spraying. Before spraying the IJN factory gray I used some mask tape to protect the ground on each floor which had been painted linoleum brown.

and finally, the finish :smallsmile:

[quote="gscott"]Incredible scratch-building; the detail in 1/700 is incredible!!!! Is it difficult to get complete paint coverage on an assembly that intricate if you're assembling before painting???[/quote]
Thanks. :big_grin: Surely it's better to paint ench floor before the whole bridge was assembled, but i'am just a student in Newyork and all my painting tools are in my China home. Only when I go back can i do the painting works. It would be harder to cover the floors with marking tapes now, but it still can be done.

rebuilt the main gun director for the original one was too big, and placed the 3.5m range finder biside the uper lookout platform higher. Is the type 90 recon plane cute? :big_grin:
