What a fine build. I really like the rigging job esp. on the biplanes! I just want to see the new Akagi with her that would be just soo cool.

Always nice to see pre-war carriers. You've done an admirable job with the Hosho.

Very real photos, and that water is just right! Not too big looking, subtle motion, very impressive. There seem to be more and more great pix and water displays going on here!

Suggestion for rigging: EZ Line. It's a stretchy, strong latex that comes in black or white and is very strong, it superglues (Cyanacrylte) very well. I almost used it, but found it was too thin for my particular purpose, but maybe next time.

Again, beautiful ship!

That's quite weird, she looks like such a simple boat at first sight, and then it's totally loaded with details, and I just love those small planes, very well done indeed
