You may want to try Plastruct 0.3mm styrene; I find it easier to glue and easier to bend into shape while gluing (if applying to styrene, that is) |

Nice. All those details will add up to a very pleasurable viewing experience. The paint on the sides of the hull is as impressive as your last big project was. |

Thanks for the tip. I went back to page one and saw where you began. Just as I suspected, you are accomplishing what you set out to do, big time. BTW, I like the box art on those two "new" models. Looks like the pictures are designed to be cut out and used as stand alone pieces. |

yeah the old boxes look good... I like the shape of the Nagato, the typical Pagode shape superstructure the Japanese ships had during WWII makes them so different and there for so interesting to do |

I think it reflects well the modern hull colors I see which are very vibrant. I think back in those days they were more brownish in hue. Interesting to see sometime a more natural light foto of course, when ready.
