Superb build, IJN Lukas. Your IJN Akagi is even more impressive and is a work of art.

The hull skin its ready.

It fits very except on the back were it is necessary to glue a strip of paper to close the gap.

More pictures.

[IJN Lukas]

You're not the only one. I had the same problem with the rear part.
Even now I can not believe I did not measured the strips. Looking forward.

[Tino]

Yes IJN Lukas this is a problem of the model.

[PAPER FAN]

Overall the hull looks great, the bow especially cam out nice.

[Tino]

Some simple work that I have done.

Oi Tino, um modelo muito legal!
Hi Tino a very nice model!
I would love to follow your example and build the model in 1/400, but the to-do-list is growing and growing.

But there are very few in the market, as far as I know: this, one from JSC, and one by a German firm (pre-WWII).
Are there others?

Happy modeling

@ Wire and paper I seem to to recall one other, ah, found it IJN Nisshin by Angraf, which is a stunner. Truly a beauty and GPM have on its website. It's on my "win the lottery" list There are of course a small number of tenders in the plastic world. Would love to see an IJN Chitose!
