1/700 IJN Carrier Akagi 1938

Post by Aphres »

Fujimi's kit
Since everyone makes the Akagi with Zero fighters ?type 99 dive bombers and type 97 level bombers?I want my work a little bit different but I don�t know if the Akagi really had the experience taking the type90 fighters and 89 torpedo bombers. :sorry: ?yet the Kaga took them for training in 1937 and those old planes did serve IJN till 1938 ?

Very, very nice. I'm sure Akagi had a similar airgroup in the late 1930s.

Excellent!

I know nothing about the aircraft she carried, but I do know that is an amazing amount of detail on an 1/700 carrier, and the paintwork brings it out nicely.

A lot of work, but resulting in a beautiful model!

1st reaction, denial: Stop lying. This is a VERY GOOD 1/350 kit.

2nd reaction, shock: Holy crap. This IS 1/700.

3rd reaction, acceptance: You, sir, are brilliant. Perfect build. You give us something to work towards. Thank you for posting.

Why don't you tell us the true? You just zoom the green barcode to hide she's in 1/350 scale... :big_grin:

Seriously - Perfect build!. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

I must ask for more pictures! :wave_1:

Nice! I had to check the post title to make sure it said 1/700 - for sure I thought it was 1/350.
