whoa! Small stuff. The flag post on the bow is called a jackstaff.
Thanks,

Thanks Carlos, Lyle, Clint and John. It won’t be long now before she’s finished. I still need to apply some weathering on the hull. May hit it tomorrow. The boats on hoist needs to be installed before I proceed with the main rigging. The main big guns will be put in place last.

Re: IJN Mogami 1/700 scale waterline
A couple progress tonight...
Canvas covering using White Out then painted Israeli Light Grey. They're already glued to individual catapult pieces in Standby position. Pics forthcoming...
Flag post / flag added to rear crane mast in Battle Ready position. Box cover shows it on rear mast. This kit's mast didn't include it.
I'm quitting while I'm ahead for the night. Tomorrow will find the catapults installed, touch up paint on scratch built modifications added to the Mogami, minor rust weathering on the hull sides, and both masts installed.
My goal is to finish her by the end of this weekend.

Don't you just hate us ship modelers and our obsession on calling the correct names Jackstaff, boot top, lanyard, stay, bollard, cleat bla bla bal.BlackSheep214 wrote:Flag post, jackstaff.... whatever. All the same. LOL!
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

The canvas covers turned out very well.

Re: IJN Mogami 1/700 scale waterline
Most excellent, but you missed a spot just behind Rhe mast.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Turned out great! What an interesting subject. 1/2 battleship, 1/2 carrier. Love the air wing
Thanks,
