 Post subject: Kinryu Maru as an AMC
PostPosted: Thu Jun 05, 2014 10:03 am 
I'm new to this great site so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm converting a 1/1200 Superior model of Kinryu Maru into her role as an AMC. Page 11 of this thread had a photo of a 1/1700 model of the ship showing the main armament with various circular additions to the top of the beige and superstructure. Did these carry AA guns, is there a photo of the completed model which looked great.
Many thanks, David
