1/700 IJN Akagi Dec. 1941

Post by ajkochev »

This is a tough model to correct. Been using the popular Omami build but lately I've been using the review and build photos of the 1:350 Akagi as correction references. What do you think or could improve on?

Never knowing how ajkochev actually does what he dose, even following his step by step guide, I do know his finished product will be out of this world, and I am really looking forward to more previews and of course the final finished model.

It took me two weeks just to get this far. A lot of scratch built and modified details to this old dog of a kit.

I did a few sets of guns this weekend to take my mind off the horrible hull for a bit.

Bloody hell!.
I have the full hull version in 1/700 with the lion roar set, and i was always wary of the amount of work needed on this.Seeing yours makes things even worse.If i ever get my hands on it , your build will help me a lot to speed up the process of correcting flaws.
Can't wait to see it painted.

For the large guns , Im not sure why you used rod cut at an angle. isnt the gun platform a cylinder?

great work so far :)

You realize, of course, that by doing all this work you've guaranteed a new 1/700 Akagi will be released within the next year! :heh:

Fantastic work!
