Imai 1/50 Catalan Ship Completed

It really is a compelling kit.  Despite its simplicity, there's something awesome about it.

A great example of Imai's ability to make details really pop....

Can't wait to see what you do with her, Steve!

Here is some of the beautiful detailing on the hull.  This is one of the reasons I am loving this kit.  Another is the ease of construction as well as the density of the parts.  The are some ejection marks I will have to deal with soon but most of them are fairly hidden.

Rod,

Thanks for checking out my build log.  I actually did go over your build log again for pointers.  Not only did I find the post about the deck and glueing it in with the hull, but also the post where you had some heavy duty clamps on the keel.  You can be sure I will ask if I run into any trouble or have a question.

Thanks,

Steve

 Good luck with your build.The biggest thing is when you glue the hull sides together.you have to put the main deck in at the same time.Painting the deck and the inside of the hull is must.Plus its a real tight fit.I normal put the hulls together then slip the main deck in but not on this one.Questions or a problem you know how to get a hold of me.

This is something I never thought I would find with a Imai kit, flash.  The piece of decking that is second from the right has a hunk of flash in the hatchway.  Easily removed but....... dang.
