It IS cute. I can imagine Japanese anime girls and an anthropomorphic cat in admiral's uniform running along the railing.

Are you looking down on bathtub toys? :heh:

So far Yamato/Musashi/Kongo all have PE sets. Akagi should have one as well.

Speaking of which, I just thought of a nice camou scheme for Akagi - 'Lasagne Scheme' to disguise as a floating piece of pasta!

That's what you get for letting young Japanese ships moor up to Russian circular coast defence ships... :big_grin:

This may sound odd considering the subject matter, but your painting of the wood deck is very impressive! One of the better ones I've seen.
