Lovely job there Nicolas. :faint:

Been out of the loop, so missed this great finish to a very enjoyable build.

The scratch building was amazing and the finish is as expected from all the work you have put in on this ship.

Once again, fantastic work :thumbs_up_1:

thanks lot capt !I appreciate your nice comment :thumbs_up_1:

I bought the Tamiya Mighty Mo with a lot of p.e extra from W.E and Alliance modelworks. 5inch turrets with blast bags and brass barrels for both 5 and 16's. Have the conversion kit round bridge from classic warships also. After witnessing your outstanding build,I don't think I could do a well enough job on this model. Bravo Zulu Le Bosco! :thumbs_up_1:
