Mogami Heavy Cruiser

[Plastik Smurff]

This might motivate me to build my 350th scale Gambier Bay A/C Carrier......although I might have to build another room on the house .

Overall this one is about 20inches long Ed . So you figure the 700 scale will still be a impressive build. Break it out and build along brother. All in all it should turn out to be a pretty hole in the water. :skipper

I'll dig the box out & see what I got & who knows what may take place....

Come on smurf build that gambier.

The mogami is starting to show some of those graceful deco lines that partially mask the fact that it was a sleek predator.

[moon puppy]

That would be very cool, love to see your water technique. :captain

Looking great! Man the Japanese sure built them pretty back in the day! I'm anxious to see this on the base!

Ok, what are the color call outs on this beast? My instruction as are all in Japanese & can't find any of the usual Tamiya call outs. If I'm not mistaken, the decks were a linoleum and a reddish-brown?

 

[Plastik Smurff]

Ditto on the water tech,I have wanted to set a build in water but ain't got a clue how to do it :idonno
No pressure on that sbs but I will be :captain
