[QUOTE=marlonzg;493211]Hi Guys Quick Up-Date just at last moment I decided to change the design of the hangar deck.The new project gives more strength and roomanyway i believe so...i also need some help ...i`d like to install some sort of lighting in hangar...using some little LED diodes powered by batteries..Any ideas please..)

Concerning the lighting: You can have a look at Tommaso's EGV Berlin :
HMV Einsatzgruppenversorger EGV Berlin 1:250
He is doing an incredible job with lighting in a model !

Absolutely amazing work. Just the life boats are a piece of art. The way of filling in the hull is a great idea. If and when I ever get around to building a ship I'm going to use your process.
Thanks for sharing your build!!!!!
Beautiful job

Hi guys ! yes i am back !Ok quick up-date...Unfortunately i am busy at work ;/Therefore all the works on Shokaku slowed down...i can only do a couple hours a week.Right so far i have cut out board sheathing and punctured all the bull-eyes and i have started making an a bull-eyes drips using the copper wire which i have got from old net cableThe Bull-eyes drips making process is very simply you need a right diameter steel wire or nail (in my case it was a screwdriver )which you use as a base to wrap around it a copper wire.Once u have it done slowly slide off the wire and voila!ready to be turn into bull eyes or drips
