More work on the Mogami... finished the main bridge, mast, AA guns, anti aircraft battery deck, all 12 floatplanes - 4 "Petes", 4 "Jakes", a pair of "Daves" (Nakajima E8N) and a pair of Kawanishi Type 94 E7K1. Pics forthcoming. Damn, my eyes are tired from this. :whiteflag: :giggles:

You’ll be just fine on this one Tom. :wink:

Thank you, Carlos. I’m taking it slow on this one. Don’t be surprised if I get this one done in a week or so. I’ll be looking for another ship for this Group Build at some point in 2022.

Will it be the Tirpitz or the Bismarck? USS Yorktown or Lexington? German U-boat U-47? Japanese submarine? Who knows what I’ll find…. :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

I finally got some free time to post some progress pics from earlier.

Base minus the deck is assembled

Main bridge

Main gun turrents 1, 2, & 3

Anti-Aircraft turrents

Anti-aircraft battery deck. There was one theory the deck were linoleum deck brown. Not sure if that's true or not but will investigate further.

Image


Main mast

And finally the aircrafts. Only the Jakes and Petes will be used in this build.

Now that's some tiny parts
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Tell me about it. You can go blind building 1/700 scale waterline ship kits. :giggles: :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:
The aircrafts alone took me 3 days to do.

I feel you pain! When I did the 1/700 USS Kennedy, it really strained my eyesight with the airwing.

I love those old waterline kits.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.
