HIJMS Kongo 1-350

The Hull is now together along with the Skegs and Rudders. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

Now this is what this place needs more of!!! I'm following along Mark and cannot wait to see more! 

Your comments are much appreciated thanks Eric. The Decks are now on and was surprised to find such a large Gap that had to be filled. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

The Anchor Chain Rub Plates have been removed for the Laying of the Wooden Deck and new P/E Plates. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

Wow, I can't believe how poor the fit is on those deck pieces. Good thing the wood deck will cover most of it except for that part where the aircraft rails are.

Oooo, I'l be watching.

Thanks Gents and Eric I got a huge shock when I saw that Gap. Whichever way I went with the Deck Parts, I could not close it at all. Well it is repaired now. The Hull has been painted and the new Wooden Deck has been laid. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

your doing a really good job on it mark , that gap was a bit extreme , nice job fixing it

Is that a Pontos deck?

Thanks Gents and the Deck was actually produced and marketed by Fujimi. Have started work on the P/E for her. Went almost Nuts doing the Ammo Lockers. Here is also the Catapault and the Aitcraft Crane along with the Secondary A/A Mounts. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

Oh gawd! That's a lot of boxes.

Oh gawd! That's a lot of boxes. 

Sheesh! How are you liking the Flyhawk etch? I have yet to use it but I have an extensive set for a 700th scale Fuso that I will get to at some point. Nice clean work so far on the etch!

Thanks Gents. The Flyhawk P/E is easy to work with but it is not forgiving as it is very thin and soft but the detail is great.....Cheers mark

More work done on the Big Girl. All Vents and Deck Equipment have now been added. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

Excellent work as always Mark.

Thanks Eric much appreciated. Good to be back building 350's after doing the Carrier GB.....Cheers Mark

Work now starts on the Pagoda Bridge Area. The Big Girl is also now mounted to her Base. More to come soon....Cheers mark

Oh yeah, love me some pagoda! Nice clean work on that etch!

Beauty work on the PE

Thanks for the comments Gents much appreciated. More work has been done on the Pagoda. Will have some more soon.....Cheers mark

Did the linoleum come in the deck set?

No my Friend it did not. I have painted the Decks with the Tamiya Linoleum Colour.......Cheers Mark

Really? That looks fantastic!

Much appreciated my Friend Thank you. Most of the Pagoda is now in place. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

man their is some work in that , very nice it is too.

Thanks Gents. I had always had Troubles with P/E Rails til I got into a System of measuring each Bend and cutting small Sections of Rail at a Time to match Curves and Corners. An Etch Mate really helps also......Cheers Mark

I wish I could build and finish at your pace Mark. She is looking great!

Thanks for the comments Eric. The Pagoda is now basically finished except for some Rigging. Will have some more soon.....Cheers mark
