Stick, yeah I love those scenes as well. That scene in Midway where they replaced the torps with bombs and back again. 

found this for ya... it actually originally came from a 1960s vintage Japanese movie.

Stick and Toshi, thanks.

Toshi, I try. I like the unusual scene. In fact, right after I done with this one I'm building the 1/72 Hasegawa kit with bombs with wings extended and put them both side by side on a base to show the different configurations. I would like to get a Japanese flight deck section to put them on..

That'll be totally cool to have it armed and in stored position.  You always come up with some neat ideas!  I love it!

There is a picture of EI-311 landing on the Shokaku in April 1942 but can't seem to locate it right now.

My boo boo, the pictures I was thinking of were of the Kate AI-301 in April 42 on the Akagi....which is my next build. The 1/72 Hase Kit. Looking through that kit, there a world of diffrence. I far prefer the Airfix kit.

I do love the scenes in the Japanese war movies where the Kates are in the hangar decks. You have chosen a great subject!
