Aoshima 1/350 IJN Heavy Cruiser Takao

Recommended Posts

Hello mates, I will be starting on the Aoshima 1/350 heavy cruiser Takao. This is a very extensive kit and I will be adding the White Ensign Models PE set.

I will be putting her in a seascape, not calm but not too rough. I envision her bow crashing through a swell and some spray.

This will likely take a few months so, join in if you want to watch me build another ship and water build.

The PE set with its instructions are also shown.

Hi Bitzer I look forward to following along.I have a fascination with Japanese vessels and have the Anatomy of the ship book on this vessel and a couple of others.I fancy building this kit,but have resisted due  to a rather large stash and anticipate working on Akagi for at least another twelve months.

May I ask why you chose WE photoetch over Aoshima's?

 

Kind Regards

Hi Nigel and thanks! The answer is very simple, my wife bought both the kit and PE set for my birthday. The set looks very intensive though.It should build up to be a very nice addition.
