Well done! Your attention to detail is impressive. I have this ship on my list of "must build".

Surfsup -

Man, that is one fine lookin' carrier! 1/700 scale too! The detail and finish would do 1/350th justice. My compliments to a build very well done. I can't wait to see what you're gonna build next!

Very nice! Is that the exhaust stack sticking out of the starboard side?

Beautiful work,nothing like a well executed scale ship,and one of my favorite subjects.Nice job.

Yes that is an exhaust stack,something the IJN tried on their early carriers thinking it would help keep smoke off the deck,but it didn't work the way they envisioned.
