Thank you for the information everyone. Unfortunately, I rarely get the chance to make anything at the moment. My wife is very sick and is currently receiving chemotherapy. I very rarely have a free head to do crafts. I would probably ruin more than move forward. But what I have done is prepare the final stand. Attachment:

This is easier to adjust if there is nothing on deck yet. Attachment:

I no longer liked the Pontos holder because it holds the ship very high. I prefer it this flat. Attachment:

In addition, the dry dock was expanded to include a slightly higher sheet pile wall. Attachment:

The cannons that look out of the casemates above cannot get their barrels later because they are one with the cannon body. Attachment:

And that’s why they have to be protected separately from my scatterbrainedness. Attachment:

Hello:
The ventilators seem to have changed during her service time. Earlier on, in pictures with the hull was black and the superstructure white, we see lots of what I call 'horn' ventilators (since the top looks like a tuba). In later pictures, where the ship is all gray, they're mostly gone, with only a few 'horn' ventilators aft. I'm guessing that the 1/50 model aboard Mikasa depicts her as-built.
A quick glance at the Hasegawa 1/350 scale instructions looks like they got it mostly right for her 1905 fit. The 1/200 scale kit instructions are more 'interesting'. Steps 13-14 show the ventilators going on at all sorts of odd angles, with no 'horn' hoods. Then they magically appear in step 18 only, and are never seen again.

Hello:
Aboard Mikasa there is a very nice 1/50 scale model of Mikasa. This model probably better represents her original state than the upper parts of the ship today.

Hello:
Here's part of a drawing they had inside the ship, that shows the internal layout. You might be able to better judge what was original from this drawing.

Many thank you both. I also think that more such old pre-dreadnought ships of this scale should be on the market. For example, the ships of the Deutschland class of the Imperial German Navy were beautiful. Now a question for the users “mconnelley” and “drdoom1337”. Do you have any pictures of the rooms under the ship's chimney? They are probably no longer original and I don't know whether there were actually rooms underneath. I mean this place here. Attachment:

Or are these simply rooms that were added later for tourists? Attachment:

Great weathering! The desaturated lower hull colour works vey well with the upper hull greys. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

I love the attention to hull weathering, especially lower hull. Well done! Sometimes I lament why we dont have a Duncan version of this because one would imagine it would be a fairly small tool adjustment for the manufacturer and make us british era pre-dreadnought go out and buy one in an instant.

Ahoy dear model building friends and thank you Daniel K. At the moment I don’t find much time for model building, but nevertheless it’s slowly progressing. I have finished aging the hull for now and turned a new ship into an old veteran. Attachment:
33.JPG [ 485.62 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
I particularly aged the anchor hawse and the area below the anchor berths, as a lot of dirt is likely to accumulate here. Attachment:
33a.JPG [ 457.61 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
Attachment:
33b.JPG [ 468.46 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
And port side. Attachment:
33c.JPG [ 483.97 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
The chipping is also strongest here, as the anchors are likely to leave clear marks. Attachment:
33d.JPG [ 398.2 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
Attachment:
33e.JPG [ 469.64 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
Amidships I aged more subtly. Attachment:
33f.JPG [ 468.49 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
And a little more at the rear. Attachment:
33g.JPG [ 456.55 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
The painting of the fuselage only continues when the missing parts are attached to the outside, i.e. pretty much at the end. Attachment:
33h.JPG [ 478.35 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
The wooden deck was also glazed and applied. Attachment:
33i.JPG [ 523.09 KiB | Viewed 325 times ]
Now I can start equipping the deck, which I’m looking forward to.

Thank you drdoom1337. That is exactly the problem with the museum ship, that the information is not reliable. I also got some pictures of her through a friend. Maybe I'll get in touch again if I'm looking for something specific. I’m a little further along. Attachment:

I took a few hundred photos of Mikasa in 2017 if you need any as well. Much of the ship is no longer original, so there seems to be variance in where things should be.

Hello mconnelley. It's great that you have lots of photos, I would be interested in them. I envy you that you saw the ship in real life. I would also like to make that happen. Yes, it's a shame that the Mikasa is no longer in its original condition. What should you expect? After all, it was downgraded to a dance hall.

Hello:
Here is a photo of the bow of Mikasa that I took in 2018. I agree that it's hard to find photos of the Mikasa online, so I took LOTS of pictures of her. If people would like to see photos of other areas, please let me know. However, a lot of the ship above the main deck is no longer original...even the main turrets and guns are reproductions.
