Just caught up with this Thread. Superb Job. Watching with Interest as I have this Kit on the Slips next.....Cheers mark

Thank you Mark!

Wow. Exquisite.Crisp. Excellent shaded blast bags.

Thank you Dan! See you in Tennessee?

Yep.

Really nice Joe.

Turrets and secondaries look good mate, and very neat and tidy glueing of the railings, well done. What do you think of that Tamiya 'etch'? I personally found it dreadfull, especially sanding down the attachment points gave me headaches

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Gewoon! I snipped them with a sharp razor on a hard surface. It worked well.

I had done some work on the main AA observation platform months ago, and have just completed it. I used K&A brass for the wooden overlay and Veterans binoculars:

ditto.

That looks very good indeed!

Thank you guys!

Wonderful execution, as usual...

Really nice Joe. There is a good "Nazi Mega Weapons" on the Yamato on PBS. What thinner are you using for the Colorcoats, and what ratio? I get some grain when spraying them.

Thank you Alex and Harpy! I use laquer thinner. I put the thinner in the air brush and scope some paint in and mix it up. Do not let the thinner get in the main paint or it will spoil. I mean to try their thinner at some point.

Some deck progress. Once I'm done with the highlights I will mist coat it to tone down the pencil:
