Hello chums, I finally made a start on the Akitsumaru. Heavily reinforced with greyboard and with some re-drawn additions. I haven't diverted from the spirit of the design, which is very good, but have added things like winches and bollards. So far, so good.
I have also opened up the stern section to show the landing craft bay. It is all conjectural of course, but it will be a point of interest when mounted on a base.
