ComfortablyNumb Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Gentlemen, please find following my build log for Hasegawa's 1/350 Nagato. For ship's details, I am using the Lionroar set, supplemented by Voyager, Veteran Models, KA Models and Flyhawk. This is the Battle of Leyte Gulf version of this famous battleship. (the above 2 are not my pics, all others below are by me) First up, fixing that incorrect plating on the hull: Edited November 25, 2011 by ComfortablyNumb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComfortablyNumb Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Short build log of one of Nagato's 127mm AA's that was posted at the end of my Yamato build thread, but as they are for this Nagato, thought I should include it here. Right after, please see my progress on the funnel area: smokestack area: Next up, finishing up that hull...thanks for viewing my post!
