Looks very good so far.
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
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

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 71st Tactical Fighter Squadron the only Squadron to get an Air to Air kill and an Air to Ground kill in the same week with only a F-15 http://photobucket.com/albums/v332/Mikeym_us/
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.

depending where you place the cables you may have to do some trimming of the cables to get them to fit between any sponsons since they are supposed to go through them on the real ship but also when trimming the cables you can use the leftover pieces to patch in other areas so don't toss them out.
And the degaussing set comes sandwiched between 2 sheets of plastic sheet so what I do is cut out the pieces from the fret while they are still covered and you don't have to worry about fly away parts.
Cool work Mrk as always. You have great patience and skill.
I tank you for the comments Lee. Much appreciated. I decided to work on the Island next so here it is with it's P/E. Now onto the next section of the Zui.....Cheers mark
Seriously.....you need a better camera - because from what I can see, that's just amazing work - and the model is TEENY!!! Holy Moly!! Please - keep posting pictures of the build as you move along - from what I can see so far - she's going to be a beauty when she's done. Keep up the good work, brother.
Cheers, LeeTree Remember, Safety Fast!!!
OK after some more patience and a little Alcohol,. the Bow Girders are now done. More to come soon.....Cheers mark
While awaiting the A/M Degaussing Cables I started work on the Flight Deck Underbracing. The Stern Area is where I started. It has sent me NUTS as each Beam is a separate Part. Will start on the Bow Area soon. This is the Stern Area almost done. More to come soon.....Cheers mark
Thanks for the comments Steve. I am very happy how she is coming along also.....Cheers mark
