I’ve finally gotten some extra money and may be getting my 1/700 fujima (I don’t have a clue if thats right) Zuikaku kit sooner then I thought.
Also my be able to pick up some after market goodies for it.

Now of course I’m planing on picking up some aircraft but I may also be able to grab 1 or 2 PE sets. (Not sure yet but we’ll see.)

I’m looking for advice on what PE sets may be able to add the most to this IJN Carrier.
Any suggestions?

I don't think there is too much out there for a 700 scale Japanese carrier. You can check companies like WEM, Eduard< Gold Medal Models, and Tom's Modelworks are the usual suspects

Hey Jacob!
Well mate, Steve-o is correct, there isn't a whole heck of a lot out there for 1/700 ijn carriers, BUT, there is This one!

And I don't know if you've seen this or not, but here is a nice build of the Zuikaku for reference!

Have fun and keep us posted on your build, neighbor!

I was thinking more along the lines of generic sets for railings, steps, AA guns, doors, cranes, exc.
I’ve seen a few IJN carrier sets but they seem to deal specifically with searchlights and radar pieces so I don’t know it they would look right without other PE parts. (And as much as I would like to I don’t have the money to buy all the PE that could be used on it.)


And Mark I think you forgot to add those links.

Sorry Jacob. . .
Try 'em now!

They work fine now.
Thats a nice looking PE set. (Don’t know if I would still be saying that after seeing it in person and true size.)
I’ll keep it in mind.

And thats a great looking model.

I definitely would, Jacob. . .GMM makes some fantastic PE sets, and their accuracy, quality, and service is top notch. And about the PE actual size, mate, you're still young, with a good eye and steady hand, you won't have any problems!
But I will tell ya this much, if you're planning on using alot of PE in the future, (and it IS quite contagious. . .you'll see! ) start making a savings fund for a PE folding tool, their definitely worth it!!
