That’s a really nice looking model so far. I’m not familiar with Wave models so I can’t compare it to Hobby Boss’ version or Hasegawa’s 1/350 rendition. I’d love to see more pictures of this beauty.

That's just godawfully beautiful, how bout a little info on wave; plastic,resin,fit?

I can't seem to figure out how to post my model pictures.

The Wave Model version of the 1:200 Mikasa is a 1905 version. Wave Models, Trumpeter, and Hobby Boss are the same kit with perhaps a slightly different deck (I'm not sure on this part) to allow for different year variations of this ship. However, it should be noted that other parts required to backdate the Mikasa were also included on the parts sprues.

My model uses the Pontos update set to detail the ship. This set included a wooden deck, lots of photo etch, cast resin, and machined brass parts. A very extensive and worthwhile set IMHO.

How long does a new forum member stay moderated? This is making it very difficult to respond and use the forum.
