Mark, thats some of the best PE I've seen, just blown away with the attention to detail and the crane is incredible. All the best.

Surfsup - Wowsers! She's lookin' real nice! I really liked the pics of the stern with aircraft, boats and crane. I also thought your P/E work was real clean, too. I myself have a love/hate relationship with P/E - it's a bear to work with but looks sooo nice when done.

Congrats on an excellent build!

Mark

Thank you for your comments Steve. The Guns are tiny. The Main Barrels are 18in'ers and her single MG's are 25MM so they are tiny. OK her Main Mast is now stepped and her Boat Handling Area is now complete. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

Man, Mark, she is looking beautiful and you have done a magnificent job on her.  Even the base lends itself to the overall appearance (which it should!) and majesty of that big girl.  Just how small are the scattered antiaircraft guns?

Nice work so far Mark. Great detailing.

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