Have not been on for a while so this is what I am working on now. And the best place to start is the beginning. So here we go with the Kit. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

And the basic Hull is now together. As a comparison she sits next to my 1-700 HIJMS Hyuga....Cheers mark

Nice choice Mark,

There is a lot in that kit for 1/700th scale, and the GMM set is really good.

Built one a while back, when I could still see 1/700th scale.

Have fun, will be following with interest.

Cheers

What Si sais - very nice work!

Those tine CWIS and the octuple Mk 29 launchers always give a fantastic impression of the size of those ships - if you're used to have a single Mk 29 occupying the better part of your foc'sle as a main weapons system...

Cheers,
Jan
