YES Bri this model can be a PITA but when finished it will look great an then all the pains that have gone into it will be well worth it as i love these big battle wagons they give off an image of bueaty an sheers raw power as that the attrakion for me to these ships

That’s a super build Brian. Huge undertaking though

It would be very interesting to display this with a model of Dreadnought. The Alpha and Omega of battlewagon design, showing how far the design evolved in just forty years……

Hi guys need your help I am looking for a Tamiya colour, It's Mitsubishi green for the aircraft.
Looking at xf-61 what do you think?

I would go for the xf11 as it is a tiny bit lighter which might work better at this scale than the xf70 which is very dark. Both are IJN green though....
