Calling all IJN Furutaka-class (古鷹) fans

[Dan K]

Very good!!

[Mutsuo Sasaki]

Good to see Furutaka again, Mucho. What's the occasion for the photography?

I believe they are to be used as starting pages for the Navy Yard magazine, the 47th issue, Dan.
mucho,

The Navy Yard issue #047 came out primo July. Had an impression photos were taken in a very dark astmosphere at the Tokyo photo-studio. Setting sail to a nocturnal battle ? I wondered.

cheers,
mucho

[Mike C]

I'm looking forward to seeing it, Mucho. I had the book on pre-order and I got notice this morning that it was ready to send. It's now on its way.

[Dan K]

Well, if it' even close to your Aoba, as seen in NY #46, it will be spectacular.

[Dan K]

Well, I finally did receive NY#47 and Furutaka is beautiful. There's even a photo of Aoba and Furutaka together.

[TZoli]

Does anyone have photos or models either physical or 3D or drawings about the Furutakas original turret top takeoff platform?

[Dan K]

Original arrangements

[TZoli]

Thank you!

When Furutaka and Kako were reconstructed with twin turrets, were all six original barbettes removed and the new barbettes fitted in entirely new locations or were the three barbettes placed in the locations of the original two forward and the aftermost barbettes?
