I'm curious, any idea what differences between the Yellow Sea battle flagship and the Tsushima flag ship? Just markings, or what?

I guess the big thing about those two cans is they are marked like they were for the Yamato's death ride?

Interesting point, Rodge...without having any really good reference shots with me now, I would have to agree that markings would be the main difference, since they both are the pre-Dreadnought design...anybody have anything to add??

The Mikasa did undergo major repairs after the Battle of the Yellow Sea on August 10 1904. Togo took the time between battles to repaint his fleet a uniform grey. The back side of the 700th scale SealsModels IJN Mikasa has great side profiles with before and after paint schemes.
