ciao peppe

Peppe and Serhan -

- MANY THANKS for this very useful graphic material!!! Very sincerely - Alex

Im building the Yamashiro and have the flyhawk pe set. My problem is its not entirely clear what I cut away from teh pagoda when i add the new rear superstructure bracing. Ive soon some shots which show daylight comming through the gaps. I cant tell if its hollow or what Ill have to scratch build by way of interior. Whole thing a bit intimidating as I dont want to make a mistake.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Nice drawing!!, looks very familiar....

I've written "steaming to" and not "in the"

Concerning the model shown by Shoca, it's the Yamashiro and not the Fuso

Here is a night version of the Fuso i've quickly made

Very impressive my friend! how long it took you to finish both?


Jose

400 hours for the profile and 1 hour for the configurations at sea.

The most important is to have a very nice plan to begin.
I would like to thanks a lot this one who helped me a lot : Lars from Aeronautic Pictures

It sure pays back at the end, you did one hell of a job



Jose

For a lot of pictures about a model :

A great realisation

Hey guys,

I was just wondering...

Which 1/700 kit of the Fuso and Yamashiro have you guys had the best experience with?

I'm planning on getting a list of the various ships I'd like to get, and these two sisters are quite 'up there' too, heh. I'd like to get them at 1/700.

I've heard about Aoshima kits, but my local store doesn't carry them, so figured I'd ask.

Thanks!

mperor, my 10c worth says its far eisier to get references on the Fuso.Nicely moulded crisp kits. very nice. both have great pe sets by flyhawk.

I've seen that Aoshima offers a Fuso, but I don't know if people have had positive experiences with it.

The aoshima fuso and yamashiro new moulds are very good indeed. Easily the equal of the newest Hasagawa or Tamiya. Indeed crisper than the Tamiya Ise by quite a bit in comparison. I have the Yamashiro with the flyhawk pe and it rocks. Ive seen several builds of the Fuso and it gets similar reviews. Very good buy.

I have the following kit numbers, let me know if they're the same ones you had/are talking about?

Aoshima 1/700 IJN Fuso Battleship #39076
Aoshima 1/700 IJN Yamashiro Battleship #14820

My store doesn't carry them, so I'll perhaps ask them eventually, but I'd want to make sure the kit numbers are correct.

check pacific front ( where I bought mine international air mail) or hobby link japan, theyll have those numbers

Hi Fuso class fans. Does anyone have any references on the deck materials used on the Pagoda Mast? In my copy of Skulski it isnt explicitly mentioned. The lowest level shows wood and some levels show treadplate, but on most plan drawings its not shown what the material is. Also, on various models of the ship i've seen most levels are either a combination of gray, linoleum, or wood. Does anyone have any definitive references or educated guesses?
