Hello everyone.

Just thought I would post a few piccies of a current work in progress, Hasegawa's 1/350 Akagi with the Hasegawa and Eduard PE sets.



















If anyone would like the URL for the full build with lots and lots of photo thingies just drop me a line.

That's it for now. Next up is finishing the flight deck BEFORE I install the PE UNDER the deck.. If I don''t go mad in the meantime..

Cheers
Warren

Beautiful work. No matter how many times I see the PE that goes under the flight deck I am astounded

Question. What PE bender system is that and who makes it?

Please provide the link to the full build. Would love to see it

Thanks

Dave

Fantastic start Warren!

I think we're all a little mad, mate, to think that PE will be fun

Nonetheless, great work so far.
