Based on your past builds, this should be worth watching. Looking forward to it.

Beautiful work Mark, I will enjoy watching you build this beast.  Hopefully it will be a bit easier than your amazing 1/700 carrier you just completed.

Nice work so far Mark. Great detailing.

Agree on the earlier comments about firedeck. His Nagato was also incredible.
