I always thought you were good, I feel very happy for you winning. So, don't sit on ya bum, there's more models to be built, any thought on what might be next ? A little mine sweeper or a few more aircraft for that runway -------- okay, any chance of a few photo's of the whole lay out ? Mate buddy chum Kym

Thanks for that Alec. I am currently working on Tamiyas 1:350 Tone and I think I have a couple of photos of the whole layout somewhere I can upload.

Kym, is there an assembly instructions for the Fujimi P.E. or you had to guess every detail and compare to the drawing in the book?

There are reasonable instructions with the sets, a couple of the smaller railing pieces are missed in the diagrams, but correct locations can be easily recognized.

Thanks, Kym. I just didn't notice those instructions at first in my set .
And what are those threads hanging down from pagoda? It doesn't look like sandbags. Was it a common feature in Fuso or at some certain periods?

Actually, I can't find any photos of Fuso with the rope type splinter shielding, but as it was a common practice at the time and there are bugger all photos of Fuso at the time of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, I didn't think it much of a stretch.
