Hi, Simon

We use Canon EOS 600D with Canon EFS 60mm MACRO lens(Close up) and Canon EFS 18-55mm lens(Full Shot).
I think the lighting(illumination) is more important than camera.

Hmm, thanks. I agree regarding the lighting: very important as you want to use a sensibly low ISO, while using a narrow aperture. The shots look very clear indeed.

Those Sea Hawks are truly awesome. Oh for an Arado or Walrus to this standard.

What magic is this!

Oh, yes!!! Awesome! I cannot wait to place my order. Please don't forget the bow bull nose on the Iowa and Wisconsin. It's only a slightly modified piece from the Tamiya Missouri.

Well Missorui WWII Bull nose also different from that of Iowa/Wisconsin.
So We created newly these.
We can show these Bull noses soon. An surely Bridge also different with Missouri though they seem similar.

Anyway 99% Almost done.

Would like to see more shots of the Missouri version.

Wow, this detail set is a real body of artwork! Bravo! I look forward to when they are on the market.

[David J Ross]

Does anyone yet do a raised helipad modification for the Tamiya New Jesrey?

This page of the'Calling all Iowa Class fans' thread might be of interest to anyone building the Tamiya New Jersey... viewtopic.php?f=47&t=4683&start=260

Scroll to near the bottom.

Will the new set for the Trumpeter Nimitz 1/350 include floor and walls for the hangar bay its missing from the kit?
Also can you consider adding some weapons for the aircraft complement as they are void of any,at least some resin fuel tanks and aa missiles?
Might worth coming with a set only with these if you ask me (A-7, F-4 ,F-18 ,F-14 etc).

They have a Nimitz set in the works???

[Thomas E. Johnson]

Will the Pontos set for the Missouri include a new 05 level that takes into account the differences in details between the Missouri and New Jersey, as well as the midships Phalanx structure? On New Jersey the lower level of this structure was more rounded, were on Mssouri, it was more or less a solid 2 level square structure.

Dear Pontos,
Tamiya will be releasing a Missouri 1991 kit this December: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10199451
Will you still provide the resin superstructure upgrade parts, since Tamiya will presumable do their homework and include them in the new kit?
