Fuso / Ise

[kennylibben]

Hey Guys,


Someone told me you can use a Fuso hull for an Ise hull?

Is that true or are they too different?

If Aoshima and Hasegawa are right in 1/700 there are a number of differences in above water hull shape. Also, as there are major changes in weight distribution. Machinery spaces and ammunition supply had to be re arranged as the turrets were grouped in 3 spaces instead of four so the under water shape in Ise was probably different aft of the funnels. But as there is no AOTS on Ise I'm not sure about this.

Considering its for combat hull shape doesn't have to be exact (although we prefer it to, there is some leniency when kits cannot be found for a specific ship) word on the street is you can lengthen it a bit and it will work as an Ise.
