Hello friends! I started my new project for next 2-3 years The model - latest version of Aoshima's Takao-class cruiser - IJN Atago 1944 Updated Edition This version was issued at the end of 2018 This version is more advanced than Retake Model contains 38 sprues and 1501 parts (but 687 not used) I want to build Atago in his last configuration in October 1944, as flagship of last japanese armada. I will use a lot of aftermarket First of all - Flyhawk detail set for Takao North Star figures, winches and ventilators and over 20 other detail sets I use many Japanese literature about these ships and photos from R/V Petrel 1. CG 3D Takao 2. Mechanism of Japanese Warships. Heavy Cruisers 3. Gakken Takao 4. Maru. THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY 6 Heavy Cruisers Takao-class, Aoba-class, Furutaka-class (big Japanese photoalbum) 5. Janusz Skulski. The Heavy Cruiser Takao (Anatomy of the Ship) 6. Eric Lacroix, Linton Wells. Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War 7. Model Art 464 The superillustration of Heavy Cruiser Takao 1927-1937 And one rare Japanese photo album will come to me soon - THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY 6 Heavy Cruisers Takao-class, Aoba-class, Furutaka-class/ Unfortunately, using many photos from Japanese books, I find many mistakes in Anatomy... It is bad news, who build Takao using only this book and drawings... Aoshima's instruction is a full 🤮💩 ... Wrong AA-guns scheme, wrong portholes without outside covers (at 1944 !!!) There are no drawings or schemes on the Atago. They will be drawn later by myself 😉 So this building will be very difficult. More difficult than my little Haguro in 1/700. Which is built from 1905 parts and 40 different aftermarket detail sets. Big picture -
