Hi guys! Returning to the forums after long time didn't build a ship. Here's my current build of the Aoba. Using PE from Five Star, Hasegawa, Rainbow, etc. Some scratch and the net as reference and the Model Art Heavy Cruisers book, wich prove to be very useful. Anyway, hope you like it and any criticism welcomed ;)

Really nice work with the PE - those handrails on the funnel look great.

Thank you Martin! Here's a little update. Sprayed the deck color an the black to the top of the funnels and aft. mast. Note that the structure of the rear mast is thicker than the one of the main mast. That is rally noticeable on the pics I've seen, but always wrongly reprsented on models. Unless I'm mistaken of course. Well, time to masking the deck! See you next time!
