IJN Heavy Cruiser Oyodo by warship, on Flickr
This is the heavy cruiser Oyodo, while obviously out of WW2 I can't help imagine the same structure as a modern ship especially the hanger
I finished this some time ago (long boring story) and only now getting to post, this took over a week to finish from getting it out of the box, cutting up fine line for the mast ''X'' and a little scratch build on the hanger itself, its a nice little model with so little to go wrong.

Throughout the WW2 there were many ships of the IJN that you could point a finger at and say, that's an advanced ship for its time, no aircraft carrier ? Strip off a battleship super structure, not enough main weapons on a carrier, let's have a battleship carrier, cargo, oiler ? we have sail ships convert them, dare I say the Japinese never had the same high spect naval crew as we had, no radar and a very large sea, you'll need your aircraft, what better protection then a battleship that's also part aircraft carrier, sadly in my view none of these were ever used as intended.
