My camera has finally reached the end of its lifecycle, the CCD imager is probably dying, pictures coming up with purple tinged lines. So, I'm converting them to grayscale.
Surprisingly only my second Japanese BB ever.
nice build .

Those protrusions remind me of a summer job I had at a marina where a woman brought her boat to the service pier and complained it was not as fast as advertised and I looked to see if something was fouled on the prop and there securely attached to the boat ...was the trailer. What can one say but, "Here's yer sign."

On Deck: 1/200 Arizona.
Recently Completed: 1/72 Gato (as USS Silversides)
Borrowed a camera. Basic coats done. Masking took quite a while. Detail painting/weathering to follow.
Most small fittings such as search lights/AA installed.
No more comments from me until the OP answers my previous questions...
I kinda liked the purple................
Manny,
Let me help you out:
WHICH FREAKIN' SHIP IS THIS??
'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing' - Edmund Burke (1770 ??)
Is that an insult that the ship looks like Fuso?
I would feel a tad sad, if I built a spitfire and someone else complimented "nice P47!"
Nah, its just an insult when the OP doesn't answer questions asked in his thread about his build but wants people to keep looking at his work...
Looks like the Ise or Hyuga. Tell us more about it.
I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!
I don't know much about ships, but after about 10 minutes of looking around online it looks like the Ise before the flight deck was added.
From the pics I saw of Fuso, it looked similar but didn't have those slanted supports on the aft tower.
Correct! Not that I'm intentionally holding the answer I swear. In fact I think my previous reply answered the question anyway! In a round about way, I said:"No it is not Fuso I'm insulted the ship ended up looking like Fuso!", which I think answers "Fuso????".
Though the emo-icons would've given away it was a bit tongue-in-cheek but I guess swing and miss?!
Kudos for ID Ise given it's somewhat similar to Hyuga.. Fuso had a different turret arrangement, progoda, stack, mast erm...just about everything actually.
Ok. So is it the Hasegawa 1/700 ? Did you use any PE? How did it go together? While I feel bad about your camera I really want to know about the kit. After all that's why we're here.

potchip I said:"No it is not Fuso I'm insulted the ship ended up looking like Fuso!",
I said:"No it is not Fuso I'm insulted the ship ended up looking like Fuso!",
You said that?
Where, precisely, because I've reread the thread and can't find you uttering those words. Are you referring to this post:
"Is that an insult that the ship looks like Fuso?
I would feel a tad sad, if I built a spitfire and someone else complimented "nice P47!" "
Because that one came pretty late in the game after you had ignored the "Is that the Fuso?" question for quite some time.
Ah well, whatever. I'm out...
...still like the purple better...
...now would a PURPLE FUSO be fitted with Purple Rufes???????????
Z
Purple aircraft can be done. Not sure about them being Rufes though. Aircraft carried pre 41 are in silver so it should reflect purple easily enough, or just use the broken camera. Apparently in the US it is a known issue admited by Canon and offer free service, alas I'm not in US.
The Navigator:
Base kit is Hasegawa's newer tool 1/700 Ise BB version. It's newer in the sense there's an even older mold, but still about 10 years old new. Fit in general is pretty good as you'd expect from a '00ish kit, for accuracy's sake Hasegawa was a bit lazy and didn't bother distinguish the small differences between Ise and Hyuga, so check references if it matters to you. Main PE used is Tom's model work's IJN battleship set, used mainly the rails, crane, stack platform support. It's designed for the old Hasegawa mold, so the lattrice supports around the stack are not quite the same. It actually involves a lot of work to cut out the plastic part into shape to accmodate the PE parts. All bridge windows are from lionroar's IJN bridge window set which is just a set of ladders of varies sizes.
For a BBCV version of Ise, currently the best kit is Fujimi's new 1/700 release.
Added small fittings, scout planes and started rigging. Once fully rigged weathering will the the final stage.
