PolarisPrime Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Excellent build. That kit has many hours of fine detail work to really make it shine and you have done a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewCJ50 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Superb job, I have to complete mine in 1/700 somehow or other. I particularly congratulate you on the aircraft especially the drift markings on the tails! A small touch you might like to note that towards the top of the pagoda tower a couple of the platforms have canvas curtains (pale colour) at the front, rather than being metal grey. They seem to be very keen on their hull plating for this one Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedjohn Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Wow, your Nagato qualifies for display in a ship museum. Fabulous job! I have this kit but have been putting it off until I get a few more ship builds under my belt. If/when I get to it, your build will be a great reference source. I have used a Fly hawk PE set once and found it very challenging/ delicate/ unforgiving compared to WEM/Toms. Your PE details came out great.

Zigomar Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Very nice IJN Battleship. Those Flyhawk sets are keeping you busy are n't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I am an airplane guy and spend most of my time hanging out in the aircraft section of Britmodeler. But every once in a while I just have to come over and see what the nautical modelers are up to. Whatever problems I might have with an aircraft kit can fit inside one turret on one of these masterpieces, and this is truly a masterpiece. The work and dedication to build this is remarkable and the results are stunning. I am simply in awe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepureness Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Right, that is it for me, I give up. You win! That is the work of legends and at times your photo looks like the real thing in its time. I need to start building some boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 That looks fantastic. Did you add the detail to the hull or is this just the kit detail? I don't build many ships but the ones I have don't have any detail in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 As a newer member of this site I sometimes miss these works of art, so thank you to the above for bringing this higher on the completed builds log. I am literally lost for words on how good this is, the only reason I know these are not just real life pics masquering as a model is that I've never seen the Nagato flying out of the water, but even now I'm doubting that perceived wisdom. The other option is that you've got fairies and pixies to do your modelling, I mean that aircraft detail is ridiculous. This really is truly exquisite.
