Nice, Nice, Nice!!!

It is no wonder I find carriers so interesting. Thank you for shairng her with us.

Hi Anthony!

Excellent detail all around, and although some parts of your work is covered (hangar, boat deck, forecastle) I really love what you have done here!
Also the air wing (sometimes we see good carrier models with overlooked air wing!!) and the flight deck is good too! To culminate, the island! Everything you have done here, resulted in a 1st prize - Congratulations!!

I am sorry, but after all this praise, I have to point out something: The writing on the blackboard is all wrong**!!!

BZ Anthony!

Note: ** I am JOKING!

EDIT: Have you considered adding some crew members?

Beautifully done Anthony!!

I love the levels of detail, not only on the carrier but on the aircraft. The hangar levels truly give the carrier a sense of purpose, which would only be surpassed if you placed the odd crew member aboard her.

thanks for sharing her with us,

Frank

Really great build. I like what you did with the base, gives us a great look at what you did with the underside of the flight deck.

Very Nice Work!!

very nicely done! Thanks for sharing...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. My plans used were basically the late war Junyo painted to look like the Hiyo! I almost shelved it at that point, but was able to make the changes somewhat successfully.

I've always considered adding crew to my ships, however I really don't like the way they look in this scale so all my vessels are ghost ships.

As for Rui's comment, all I got to say is writing Kanji in 700 scale is hard! JK
Thanks again everyone.

Oh my lord! It's beautiful! And 1/700th at that!
