Hi Mark,
that's quite some masking endeavor you did there!!! But obviously it was worth while - your decks look really good - very nice job!!
Cheers,
Jan

Looking good, Mark.
That flight deck really does look like an after thought by the IJN doesn't it?

It's a great looking build so far Mark. Impressed by your skill in this scale.
I am also amazed how different the approach taken by the IJN was towards combining air and sea.
cheers
Michael

Mark, your build looks beautiful ! Flawless build and great details.
Your work on the main mast with the PE parts is impressive. Super detailing a 1/700 kit isn t easy. Got the Hyuga as well in the same Hasegawa special edition but as a "full" battleship.
According to the instructions the crew of Hyuga was much more fortunate as the crew of Mutsu, because one of her aft turrets blew up after gun training.

I just can't get my head around how tiny this is Mark!
Exceptionally intestinal to take on something so small!
Great work!
