Great work on those planes Nektarios - could easily be mistaken for 1/350 planes! :wave_1:

Definately beautiful aircraft work though. Nicely done, Nektarios.

The Subs on Diorama Bases is a good idea, as most of them are so small anyways, it hardly does them proper justice to display them unless they're on a base and full hull, or else in a diorama with another sub or two or other stuff.

I can take it or leave it on the Hyuga - I'd be tempted to do one up as a Converted Carrier though, with F-35's or something on the deck. But then I'm not much of a Carrier fan, having a strong Battleship fetish and loving it.
