Thank you Blacman! I installed the searchlights, gun directors and chrysanthemum decals on the amidships super structure:

1/350 Yamato progress. Forward and aft secondary superstructure mounts, most aircraft tracks on the aft deck, the majority of hose reals and other miscellaneous deck items have been added.

Looking good Joe! Now, if you could just put the telescope down...

She's coming along great, Joe.

Thanks Dan and Martin! No Martin I won't put the telescope down. Someone's got to keep an eye on you!

Indeed, don't put it down! I'm one of the people that enjoys your beautiful pictures a lot!

But to see some progress on this great project is a pleasure too I have to admit!

Uh, what?

Good to see her back at the bench, going steady ^^

All amidships structures are now in place.

Looking good Joe.

Yamato was such a behemoth.

He's back...............

Thank you guys! I think my infrequent posts have created a perception that I stop working on this occasionally. I actually do 40 hours a month with no breaks since mid 2017! This model has kicked my butt up one side and down the other. A typical IJN cruiser takes 900-ish. This ship is easily the equivalent of two of those kits.
