I think I read something about that model, but I can't remember which ship it depicts, and I can't find any reference to it now.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.

It's the Junyo. Those are Hasegawa stands, she's 1/350 and runs about $ 300 I think.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Thanks, GM!  That was going to drive me nuts, trying to remember it.

My father's cruiser, the USS San Juan, was bombed by aircraft from the IJN Junyo at the battle of Santa Cruz in 1942.  I found that it was planes from  that carrier by doing some reaserch on that battle.  My dad only remembers the events of the attack, not where the planes came from.  They took a hit in the stern which went through them, exploded outside the hull, flooded their cigarett supplies, which was very upsetting to the crew.  They also lost sterring for a while and had to go to Sydney, Australia for 2 weeks for repairs.  But that's another story. So the Junyo has some family history.  I've built the 1/700 scale model of it, it would be nice to do the model in 1/350 scale.
