LOL, thanks guys. I'll be sure to get a pic of the bow tonight.
I found it far easier than the stern now that I worked out a sequence. The bow, believe it or not, is more difficult because of the braces that attach to the plastic pillar kit parts and the difficult lengths of three of the stringers. The whole process reminded me of building a stick and tissue kit, and about as delicate.
My wife texted me and said the South Korean kit was in :hmm: . I'm dubious about that but will find out when I get home.

Looking forward to more photos and seeing that set from south Korea. What you have showed so far is excellent work.

Thank you Floki,
I didn't get much time last night because I was playing with my new toys, but did work on the rear section some more.
Here's what came in last night.
The laser cut paper kit. After several emails, he (Harry) said he didn't expect anyone to order it, especially someone out of the country.
The instructions, 12 pages.

The "parts"

Harry wanted to supper detail his Akagi so he designed and made laser cut paper additions for his gun tubs and other overhangs as well as splinter drapes and small boat tie downs
