MRMRL Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I've only recently joined you fine folks here at Britmodeller, but I have quite a few completed models I'd love to share with you, since my wife has no interest in "enjoying" the fruits of my labour. So when I have some time I'll start with some of the more recently completed items. Here be the Aoshima 1/350 Takao, for which I used the Flyhawk photo-etch set to improve the finer details. I finished building this one back in April this year after a few months effort. It all went together fairly well, although the etch set instructions were terrible, so there are a few questionably described items that I had to deal with/makeup. The resin turrets were probably the best part of the whole set, almost worth the shonky instructions - they are so much better than the plastic originals. Overall I'm happy with the final product, a nice addition to my Japanese WW2 fleet - hope you enjoy 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-boat 55 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Very nice build, clean and tidy which is the way I prefer myself, I feel your pain re the lack of appreciation from her indoors, when I mention anything related to the hobby the normal response is 'they're all the same to me..grey on top red in tbe bottom' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Well it is grey on the top and red on the bottom, but this is a very tidy and impressive build. One question though, can C (?) turret rotate past /clear the superstructure (and yes those turrets are quite divine)? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And C turret does swing past the superstructure, it's tight, which probably means it had a clear amount of room at full size 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
