Betties and Ohkas on a CARRIER and a sumo match?! Top-notch build sir! All of those extra little details really bring the model to life. Keep it up

Thats one hell of a job the one you've done here i don't think is 1/700 scale though by the size of the chrysanthemum crest and few other things this is 1/350 or bigger, is this Doyusha's 1/250 Shinano kit? i like zipang very much too love the anime's soundtrack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uulNyuV ... re=related


Jose

Absolutely beautiful!

One word: 'wow'.

That model looks bigger than 1/350. What is the scale?

Uma is my friend. I can guarantee you that his Shinano is Tamiya 1/700:)
Maybe I'll tell him to post more WIP pics.

Cheers!

This is incredible and very impressive but unfortunately now I have to build this kit... my stash is already too long!

What aftermarket PE did you use?

i just saw tyhis and man you have a magnificent eye for detail and pun! As usual a very beautiful build sir!

Is this a scene that appears in the manga? I have only seen the anime of Zipang and it did not include anything like the Japanese producing a nuclear weapon. I very much enjoyed the anime.

Interesting concept to say the least. I seem to remember reading that the Shinano actually did go down with a load of Okha's on board.

With that massive flightdeck, I wonder if Betties could have operated from her.
