That's an impressive-looking shot, Lex!

It will be well worth waiting for the next reports to appear.

We'll all be thinking good thoughts for you as you work through the final stages of that thesis!

Don

P.S.: In the images of the Ise there are many light anti-aircraft gun mountings on the rear deck. I presume that there was no intention of conducting flight recovery operations on that deck -- or were the guns of the disappearing mount type, as were installed on the aircraft carrier Hōshō, that could be hydraulically lowered into tubes?

That's interesting to know. The Zuikaku model also has AA guns all over the flight deck.

Good luck with your thesis, Lex. I'll be paitiently waiting for your next update!

Thanks! On the flight deck though, the design was a last-ditch attempt and there was no intention of recovering aircraft with that, they probably need to land on a nearby airfield or another proper carrier. Though if the plane had floats like the Seiran, there shouldn't be a problem with that. Thanks for the interesting info on Hosho

Hi Lex
It must be difficult designing the hull with all the complex curves. Just curious, which CAD program are you using?

Hi Lex,

Etsutan Wakayama, did already an ISE Battleship/Carrier design in scale 1:400, maybe this is interesting for you, see:?? (Just click on the question marks)
The NAGATO 1931 model I'm building right now is also a Wakayame model enlarged to scale 1:250. I use the model as a template, a large part is scratch build and more detailed. (see attachments) For the grey I use a grey cardboard that I buy in an artstore, so no edge coloring with paint or color pencil!!
If interested you can contact me, and thanks for you response on ASHIGARA.

John.

Hi John, thanks for the info and I like your Nagato build a lot. The model on that site wasn't terribly detailed, which was the reason I'm undertaking this design in the first place.

I had my thesis binded and handed in today, so updates might follow shortly.

Lex, I love your work. Interesting to me that the hull shape is so square. Hmm.

But John, am I allowed to say Holy Craaaaaa@@@! here? My goodness but that is one of the sharpest models I have seen in a long time. Like, WoW, man.
