Together with a narrow rigid brush.

What a joy to see the great IJN classic. All over very neat and tidy. Nothing is buried under the blobs of paint which is nice! Even the planes color and detailing looks true to the scale, which is rare. It could be a bit less rusty for my liking, but overall easilly could be the best Kongo on this site.

Thanks, Yury! May be a Fuso or Yamashiro next?

Thank you, Mermaid!
Kongo all time was "a working hors" of IJN, therefore I have added rusts more.
Planes - not out from a box. It is new Tamiya. They are better than Fujimi planes.

Plans for a possible 2 version of pre-war IJN Kongo class battlecruisers.Only CAD at the moment, nothing solid. One is from 1917 and I think is IJN Haruna is a disruption camouflage. You will LOVE it.

Edit cause of the nature and shape of the camouflage it will be a fun challenge to paint it correctly.

Question Yuriy S what did you use for the wiring and rigging?

Atma · Post by **Atma** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 12:15 pm

I think Lion's Roar ?

Awesome ! I admire your passion, seems almost impossible to work with such a delicate material.

Question:
This is the instructions for the new IJN Kirishima by Fujimi in 1/700:

Fujimi indicates that a large pair of searchlight shall be installed on her pagoda, seems strange cause IJN Kirsihima is the only IJN Kongo or in particular the only battleship in Imperial Japanese Navy with such a large type of searchlight in her pagoda, is that correct ?
Thanks in advance.

Dan K · Post by **Dan K** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:39 pm

These are signaling lights, not searchlights. Should be 30cm, possibly 60cm. Kongo and Hiei have them in similar positions; maybe one deck higher.

Atma · Post by **Atma** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:41 pm

Yes but the size is the same as the searchlights in the funnel. Gp2 part is a large searchlight.

Dan K · Post by **Dan K** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:50 pm

An unfortunate error on Fujimi's part. Hardly on a par with the hull issues.

Atma · Post by **Atma** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:03 pm

Not so unfortunate, dont create drama. Is just a printing error, where it read Gp2 it shall read Gp3. I repeat Gp3.
And that is straight from Fujimi's reply to my email.
Future instructions of IJN Kirishima will be corrected.
