Actually if you want to do the Zuikaku again someday try the Fujimi kit it is a new mold 1/700 scale kit.
Here is the link to Hobby search showing the Zuikaku you might be blown away with the detail and it also shows the instructions as well and BTW there are 2 version out for the Fujimi Zuikaku the 1941 version and the 1944 version.
Fujimi also has both the 1941 and 1944 Shokaku as well.

surfsup Adding the Degaussing Cables is now underway so will have some more Pics up shortly....Cheers mark
There could be a possibility you might need another set of Degaussing cables to finish off the Zuikaku though it's possible you might have enough. Of course the Zuikaku is a longer subject and you have alot of straight aways before you get to the bow which zig zags a little bit.
you can use the pics I have of what I did on my Chuyo thread as a example of how to do it though I am still not finished with the bow degaussing cables yet.
The Degaussing Cables have now been added to the Hull so now the Fun stuff can start. More to come soon.....Cheers mark
OK the Hull is now basically complete and has been Basecoated in readiness for her Camo Scheme. More Pics to come soon.....Cheers mark
Ok the Hull Camo Scheme is now on so now I can start working on the Flightdeck. More to come soon.....Cheers mark
The Girders have now been fitted to the underside of the Flightdeck. This bottom Section has been test fitted to the Hull. More Pics to come shortly.....Cheers Mark
Holy Cats! That's a lot of tiny girders going on there. My respects to you, sir.

Thank you for the comments Gents. I am just glad that this part of the Build is complete. Now I can move on to other aspects of the Kit.......Cheers mark
OK onto the next Phase. Before I could add the Flight Deck, The Stern Boatdeck was completed or it would have been a nightmare to fit the Launches. The bottom Part of the Flightdeck is now add. The Ruler gives you a size gauge and rhe Hull weathering has been started. More to come soon.....Cheers mark
The Main Flightdeck Part is now attached to the Zui. To say that this is Great Etch is an understatement. It has to be one of the best examples of the Etchers Art that I have ever seen. More to come soon.....Cheers mark
Looks very good so far.
