Hey guys

Yesterday I spend almost 8 hours on this baby, I proposed myself to finish the reconnaissance plane, add the remaining 25 mm single AA guns also add some extra mushroom vents and ammo boxes, these came from Hasegawa BTW. Let me see paint some railings, I still need to add the stern section railings although it shouldn�t be a headache these are the last ones to be added, I�m still waiting for those L�Arsenal figures�. The partial rigging was done with the lycra rigging from WEM, I just love it. it stretches and is easy to work with specially when you are gluing it. I had to do something about those molded cable reels I scraped off the ones I could and added some from Hasegawa, the ones I couldn't get rid off I covered them using aluminun paper foil ( got to thank PAULOOI on this one) as if they were covered with canvas. I think sometimes is a good idea in taking pictures, right now I�m seeing sooo many awful errors on the paint work, I�ll definitively have a busy sunday next week

Thank you guys , John I tried doing it the old fashion way using my trustee friend the invisible thread

but it was a pain in the rear keeping that little sucker steady and at the end it didn�t even look the way I wanted then I came up with another idea of using LionRoar�s 0.2 mm copper rods and voila , I bought these from HLJ you know it doesn�t have to be necessarily Lionroar�s you could test with other kind of rods as long as they are average in size I don�t see any problems. HTH

Very nice picture indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Are they any other IJN warships pictures in your pipeline (apart from Fuso)?

cheers
