Some impressive work so far Brian.

Had a mishap with the thin CA glued not only my fingers together but also my hands to the table, thought I grabbed the thick and gave it a good squeeze
Brian

Lucky you didn’t scratch your nose really…..

 

[Ian M]

Hope you escaped the CA without to much damage to fingers and table.

The build looks good so far. What are you painting with?

 

[Bri62]

What are you painting with?

Tamiya acrylics 2 main colours are imperial Japanese grey and hull red.
Brian

 

[Ian M]

Remember there are 3 - 4 different ones depending on the shipyard. Be sure to get the grey for the Kure shipyard.

imperial Japanese grey

Be sure to get the grey for the Kure shipyard.

Some progress for you, managed to get the CA off my hand, soaked them in really hot water......more careful now. I'm glad the rails are down was quite testing



These discharges were more difficult than I thought especially the smaller they got.


Look what arrived this morning



Might do a bit this afternoon.

Ian can you be more specific there is 70 odd pages do you want history or reference? I'd like to keep the photo count reasonable

Wow Brian! Looks like that will be a real labour of love.

Not a floaty man myself.....but then I didn't have a plane kit for years and now I have 'a few'....will watch this with interest!

All the best

Brian, I'm not a floaty things modellers but that Yamato build is really enticing.
A very neat work.

 

[Bri62]

Thanks for all your kind comments, and everyone is welcome.
Been doing some small stuff and putting lockers on the deck .............just finished for the day.


At least it's not "make 63"

Now photos of the whole book in detail would be a copyright problem. A mini review Type thing, what you,ou think is. Useful, relevant and will help a modeller.

Ok this is a small peak into the Yamato book I just got there is loads of history but I mainly got it for the reference colours/rigging and such.
There is a large section on models from 1/700 up to an impressive 1/10 which was professionally built anyway enjoy
