Beautiful job on an attractive ship. The kit description was very helpful as well.

One excellent build! I love the detail you put into this ship.

One thing, are the windows on the bridge area clear plastic? Did they come with the kit or did you build them and how?

Very good job with the Nagato, Quintin!
Congratulations

Anthony, I believe they are clear plastic parts included in the model

The windows were provided with the kit. I did not add a thing other than what came with the kit or the detail set parts. That's one of the things I was so impressed with was the level of detail straight out of the box. Modelers who wish to can add tons of detail. Modelers like me who wish to build a good, well detailed kit but without going to the Nth degree will love this kit equally as much.

Well done Quintin!, great build and very nicely painted. You've given me great reference for my model.
