Yeah, that's how they do it. It was a strange thing to experience it for the first time when I was a helmsman on the Ranger, to see the bow turn at a different rate than the compass heading. After that, I just kept my head down and watched the compass until the new heading was reached.

I've never noticed this before but that carrier is in a skidding right turn (way out of trim). Kinda cool looking.

Here is an aerial view of the similiar type of camo scheme:

Your comments are greatly appreciated Gentlemen. I don't know how effective the Camo Scheme was as it was suppose to give the impression of being another Vessel.....Cheers mark

It's been an enjoyable WIP. I really dig the camo job and the PE work. Well done sir.

Fantastic work.Was this found to be an effective camo scheme?

Thank you for your comments Jockster Greatly appreciated.....Cheers mark

Nice one Mark, it's been an enjoyable build and a lovely model. Look forward to the Yamato. Jockster.

Thank you for the comments Gents greatly appreciated.....Cheers Mark

That's just beautiful work there! I need to go back now and reread the whole thread from the beginning. Thanks for letting us tag along!

And of course you're more than welcome to crosspost the Yamato on the GB and on a separate thread here for those who don't want to follow your build though all the GB posts too!

WOW! Your build has made me wish that my eyesight could be better to enable me to build 1/700 once again!  Great job!

Bill

I am happy to say that Zui is now complete and ready to Sail for her first Airstrike. Any C and C's are most welcome.....Cheers mark

LOL you also forgot the Photoetch landing gear and those kits actually come with ordinance.

What's wrong with 1/700 photoetch props? They're pretty big compared to the 1/700 photoetch people :

Thanks for the comments my Friend. I am really enjoying this one also. I will be doing the Japanese GB over on the Gb Thread. I will be doing Tamiya's original 1-350 HIJMS Yamato with the Lion Roar Set and a Wooden Deck. Will be commencing when the Zui is launched.....Cheers mark

Relaxing hobby?   Anyway, well done Mark, I've really enjoyed your build and I'm gonna miss watching it's progress when you finish. Have you anything lined up for next?

Regards,

Jockster.

I agree with you. And my Dr said to take up a relaxing Hobby so I did. Now look what he made me go and do........
