Hi,

I have made the frames of the bridge:




Now, I am working on the details of the hull. I am also designing a new Yokosuka "Glen" plane for this model.

Hi,

I have made an interior of the bridge because I plan to make the doors opened. I made only one compartment with very simple basic details because it will not be visible much.










Next, I will be making the hangar.

Hi,

Building of the hull still continues.

I have covered the bridge with parts from the kit.



I am also making final details of the hull before painting.



That's how it looks now.

Hi,

I have painted the hull with an airbrush. It was difficult because of the shape of the hull. But I like the end result.

It is a beautifully smooth and realistic-looking hull.

Thank you Don. I was trying to make it as realistic as possible but it was very difficult because of a cigar-shape of the hull. But now, the most difficult part is finished so, the rest of the model should be made faster.

Hi,

Hi,

I have finished the bridge and made 4 Kaitens.
The bridge has an open hangar for the plane.
