That's amazing about the Gerald Ford - Must be quite large even for a 1:350? About 96cm maybe??
Lex - I've made the Kirishima, took me about 2 months at roughly 2h per day. I didn't find it that difficult, though time consuming, and to be honest the instructions are superb, possibly even describing 'obvious' points, but you can never be too clear. Theres a seperate instruction sheet for each parts sheet, and a kind of a 'before-and-after' method of diagrammatic explanation which is about as clear as it gets.
The sonar dome and the lattice mast were tricky. I used a Xerox printer, forget what type, but the 'ink' flakes off bit too easily when I bent/scored the parts. A bad workman blames his tools, isn't that right?!
I was so impressed I made a donation.
I have a question for everyone and anyone:
Where and how can I get a copy of his Yamamoto????
Regards,
Alan
