on page 115 it clearly shows them .

G'day, we must have different editions. Page 115 of my book shows drawings (E12/1 and E12/2) of the triple 15.5cm turrets. And not a single scuttle/port hole to be seen. 😁

So my earlier reference to a photo on page 29 may not be relevant, but that last photo supplied by Alain (aka @Iceman 29) is unmistakable.

Regards, Jeff.

These two anatomy of the ship, they complement each other:

I had to admit defeat , I started putting them on they were really the wrong shape , and besides that my hand started shaking and every 3rd one was crooked , 

 

 

so went on with some stuff underneath

       G'day Steve, no need to apologize. She's your model so do her as you see fit. If some of the scuttles don't line up it'll probably hit you in the face later, every time you look at it. Some detail is better left off, if it becomes a chore or will detract rather than enhance a model.

       Will you be fitting the screws soon or leave them until later? I'm assuming you know about handed sets of screws. These were all outward-turning, as per drawings in the book.

Regards, Jeff.

[steve5]

No Jeff , l did not know that , l always leave the screws till last , had a mishap once , could you elaborate on the outward turning screws please .

Me too, usually.

 

When looking at the hull from aft/behind, looking forward as the ship moves forward the top of each screw will turn outward - ie turning left (anticlockwise) for the screws on the port side, turning right (clockwise) for the screws on the starboard side. You can tell which way they turn by the angle of the blades. Notice below how they angle in opposite directions.

For a ship with four screws such as Yamato the two on each side will be the same.

HTH. Regards, Jeff.

The fun bit is when its a three screw design such as the German capital ships, who as far as I'm aware, further complicated things by stating their direction of turn looking at the ship in the opposite direction to most other navies,

Thanks Sam, I didn't know about the reverse-direction aspect. It's no wonder they lost the war. 🙂 Regards, Jeff.

1/200.... this is gonna be a fun build to follow. 4 years on and I am still recovering from building Trumpeter's 1/200 Titanic and that was just deckchairs and lifeboats when it came to fine detail.

 

What a whopper, and good luck to you too

[steve5]

the planes are together , wasn't worried about glue fog as they get painted , I know there is a glue for not fogging is it crystal clear ? now for the boats .

On the Mitsubishi F1M2 Pete, there are two hatches on the top surface of the upper wing, just above the hut that holds the wing to the fuselage. I think this is where the flood hook was hooked with a double sling.

 

You can see them here:

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the Aichi E13A Jake, there were 4 lifting points with a spider:

I’ve often wondered how much these monster builds use, regards paint and masking tape ?

Looks like I might find out here.
