Chih Who? WIP.....The Finer Details....9/18

That's what I thought...start out of the chute like a racehorse then slow to an inch-worm's pace...this MOJO will make your Tirpitz look like a fast build...

Yup, as Manny stated the PE comes with the kit and is a FULL pe set, meaning it includes ALL the railings for the entire ship!! A big plus in my book.

I have the kit as well---2 PE frets come in the box, along with some flags---the stand also comes in the box...

The PE cam in the box or was purchased separately?

I bought the Wright book (let's hope). So I'm in with one of the two-stack armored cruisers. Of course if I can find one under a different flag, just to widen the research, but at the least the Chin 'en at Tsushima.

Edit: Yes, that's it. She was in the Third Squadron, Fifth Division at the Battle of the Japan Sea (Tsushima). Nuff said- she will join my Navy as a companion to the Mikasa.

Why is this important to me? Because this was the only decisive battleship engagement by steel navies.

Jutland? Okay, perhaps it wasn't decisive, but it did end the Kaiser's dreams of ruling the North Sea with his pet the High Seas Fleet once and for all. They were never relevant again, with the exception of the U-boat.

...its important to me because these ships are cool looking and help define the "steam-punk" period...

Manstein's revenge

I think we have a Group Build here...

Git 'er done...post more pics...

Glad to have you guys on board Bill and Manny!! Just cleaning up some of the parts and doing some dry fitting. This may be the best fits I have ever seen so far!! Some pics of the hull halves and decks dry fitted.

The way they molded the hull halves rocks!! There are so many supports and braces in there for full hull or waterline  that this thing will be rock solid when its glued up!

Impressive,,,,,,,,   !!

Will be watching for your updates

Thanks for sharing!

Bill

Wow...this is gonna be good!
