Here's my entry into the 'Forgotten Sisters' campaign. The Aoshima kit is the new tooling kit #122. The Flyhawk P.E. set is very impressive, some of the best P.E. in 700th scale I've come across. The Voyager resin turrets with brass barrels need to be seen to be appreciated, highly detailed. The 12.7cm turned barrels both long and short should cover the casemate guns and the AA guns. I need to speed up my building if I plan on completing this model in time.

Hi Frank

You have all set up and ready to go - and it is a nice Forgotten Sister indeed
Keep us posted please

Hi Rui,

I'm scheduled to work away from home for the next month or so. Taking the 350th Nagato with me is out of the question!! I'll take the Yamashiro and hopefully work on her a bit faster than my Nagato!

It's nice concentrating on ships. In the past I used to get bogged down with an aircraft here and a tank there, now modeling strictly ships, I can focus, and have no fear that I'll leave a project unfinished.

Can't wait to see some of her built, keep us posted.

That is something that I have though several times, but always get scared of - with the exception of "my Ol'Navy Days" when I built a Airfix 1/72 Vosper MTB while on a "cruise" of four months in the Azores It is definitely my ship model with the most Nautical Miles under the belt
On the other hand I have "faster" models (like 900 km/h - those that travelled to Telford)
Keep us posted please, and good luck on your assignment

Thats the dedication we like to see, taking a trip and taking the kit to keep up with the campaign.

Haven't seen any progress shots of this build......Your not going to keep us in suspense are you?

Hi Frank

Sorry for the late reply, I've been away from home for a few weeks.

The Yamashiro has taken a back seat to the Nagato. I figure I'll be more productive if I stay focused on one ship at a time. It's tempting to start building her,... must resist..... must focus....

Frank

What fun is that!!

I'd have to agree with Martin but we'll be waiting for up dates on the Yamashiro.

Hows this build going? no news for a long time. Hope you get back to this one
