IJN Zuiho

Here's my version so far. Having fun with it and couldn't help jumping to one of the aircraft.

Good job, I've never tried a plane in 1/400th scale. The 1/250th Arado Ar 196
was tough enough.
The Jill has the horizontal tailplanes on backwards. The white lines radiate
out towards rear. Sort of "aim lines" for the rear gunner, though I can't
think of why they would need them.

Cheers, Bob

Hur-rumph. I'll have to check the pattern for the Jill. Swear because of the the fold, which faces forward, only way to attach the horizontals. I'll let you know, rjm. Heading up to the yards now.

I fired my fabrication manager for putting the aerlirons on backwards. Saw I soon as I look looked, they were on wrong. Ugh but great for pointing it out. Thanks.

Maybe this will help with the aircraft:

My first attempt at the aircraft came back from Depot Maintenance with the ailerons on correctly this time. lol

And the hull now has the port and starboard guns decks installed. I can't imagine being in First Division and trying to keep it rust free.
