Next will be - additional racks, deck details, flagpoles

Thank you Jose!

Paint railings, add many ventilators, additional racks for railings, anchor davits and over deck details

This model has certainly turned out spectacular with the best possible detailing in this small scale.
Congrats on this great build!

This build continues to amaze...phenomenal work Andrew!

Brilliant work, Andrew! Your build is a remarkable example of what can be achieved in 1/700 scale and is absolutely stunning!

I have a question about the Hiragana on the stern and ship's boats - were they ever painted out during the war or were they carried throughout?

You are crazy!

Would it be possible to see the Russian nameplate also?

I'm curious to see it to practice.

I have only 1 photo after 1930s where we can see the hiragana at boats
And I don't havy any photo where we can good see aft of cruiser stern after its refit in 1939-1941.

Myoko March 31 1941


so, I'm not sure if this is correct - Hiragana at stern and on the boats
