Re: Calling all IJN Fuso (??) and Yamashiro (??) fans
Ach, you're right, that it was. Still, with no place to actually order it, the little "release at..." on the bottom of those images might just be aspirational (i.e. not "released on").
De quoi s'agit-il?

Re: Calling all IJN Fuso (??) and Yamashiro (??) fans
Hi can someone advise please
I have the Fujimi 1/350 Fuso, is it worth buying Yamashiro?
No idea if there's much of a difference between them
Thanks bob

The differences in the superstructure are certainly noticeable, but only you can decide whether it's "worth" getting.Bob the Stug wrote:Hi can someone advise please

Also the orientation of #3 main mount differs between the sisters.

Hey all. Was looking to back-date a '44 Fuso to '41. Is this as simple as removing the extra AA and radars, or was there more extensive mods done to the superstructure and directors like what the Ise had?

I'm not an expert on this but I think the AA and radar upgrades are the only changes she received. Though, she probably had her lower portholes plated over as well later in the war.
