Thanks Guys I do enjoy modeling the IJN to me the ships really have some nice lines about them.I have the Mogami in the stash I am not going to kill it that one with the PE and the the accompany flight deck.I built the Yahagi and left off the small flight deck in PE thinking the stubble on the deck was over scaled.I have the Roma and POW in 1/350 in the stash as I mentioned before aircraft is my main interest in 1/32 mainly.

Good job, javlin !
This is a very nice model of a beautiful cruiser.

I agree, I too am enjoying the lines of the IJN cruisers, one of the sleekiest designs ever in my opinion sourire

I would not mind doing the Yamato and maybe the Bismark but I literally have close to 300 unbuilt aircraft ATTM with close to 250 built in cabinets in my workshop.The workshop the office area 7'X16' I build models mainly and draw up plans at times for woodwork.The rest of the shop 22'X16' is dedicated to woodwork and whatever people want me to fix.Kevin Rolling Eyes

Hello Javlin,
