Faraway Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 This is my first Aoshima model and I have to say some of the detail was very good, but some of the part to part fit left a bit to be desired. As did the instructions, I got the impression that the English translation was the barest minimum, whereas the Japanese, probably, went into more detail. Anyway, an interesting ship. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so considering the short time it took, great to see it built 👍 Thanks Alan. I was quite surprised how quickly it went together, it wasn’t an overly complicated kit, the extra PE did improve it no end. It must be the first ship I’ve built which only as three colours. The only real drawback was the instructions, bit vague at times. By the by ‘Voyager’ is excellent, real page turner. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Stupendous result Jon, I really like the menacing look of the bridge on these ships, and zooming into that structure reveals some quality workmanship, particularly those windows. Glad you enjoyed it more than the 1/700 Bissy. What's next? David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s not my strong point, so I add the most I’m comfortable with. To not add any makes ships look a bit odd, bit like not adding deck railings, a pain to instal but make such a difference.

Zoran Srb Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Nice one. On Takao, I found fit not so great. So, each time I see one finished, I'm glad. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
