I used the Evergreen N scale freight car siding for my 350 scale Yamato conversion. Good stuff though it might be a tad to wide to accuratly show planking in 700 scale still it beats trying to scribe all that.

Hi Anthony

Very good SBS of this major scratchbuilt, even if only the IJN Kaga deck
I think you have done a very good job, very clever in splitting it in sections (avoiding terrible and always problematic masking) and I am going to use the drain tip for my IJN Unyo built/scratchbuilt project. It makes a convincing drain and it doesn't get so fragile as the PE parts!

Looking forward to see the full IJN Kaga
Congratulations!
Rui

Wonderful work. I am especially impressed with the gold-almond wash for the wooden deck sections.
