Aoshima 1/700 ijn Mutsu.

[Mark1]

Finished this at last, this is my second 1/700 ship and first go at etch detail at this scale. Hence the railings being a bit untidy in places but there is probably easier ships i should have tried for a first attempt . Anyway, a nice kit if not totally accurate, etch railings,crane and catapult and metal main gun barrels, as much rigging hopefully without going overboard using a rigging diagram for the sister ship nagato which i have and painted using mr hobby aqueous.

If that’s only your second attempt, the first with PE, then I’m really looking forward to what follows!!!

Excellent result Mark.
Although a pain, the rigging has to be tackled to finish a ship off, so well done that lad. :thumb2:

Cracking build.

Lovely finish Mark rigging and all. What were the differences between the two sister ships? Were they the gun positions or the superstructure?

Thanks Richard, apparently mutsu had a different rear S/S and nagato had more AA mounts
