I love Hasegawa's kit but absolutely hate the excel spread sheet. The lines are all filled in. I added the tape and have started priming to get a hull plating effect. When I remove the tape I'll have raised plating and no excel spreadsheet!

Artists' acrylic paint as filler? Brilliant!

Yes, agreed with Timmy. Brilliant indeed. Gearing up for the 2024 Nats for this one!

Thank you gentleman! The acrylic worked pretty well but I did supplement it with Tamiya primer as I worked on it. The model is further along than these photos suggest.

Exactly. And what a P-I-A that is.

But, you've excelled at filling the spreadsheet. :big_grin:

Thank you for fixing the brick wall hull of the Nagato. Finally I see someone do this. That model never looks good without this correction and you took that task head on! :thumbs_up_1:

Progress since last update. I finished filling the excel spreadsheet and created plating detail using spray primer. I cut all the butt ends in the deck planks using the Flyhawk wood deck as a template. I rebuilt detail along the casement walls using 0.005 wire for weld lines and styrene for the casement gun stops. I painted the deck with various colors and washes and used a sharpened pencil to highlight the plank detail. I also added the degaussing cable and plated over the appropriate port holes. I also added photo etch port holes over the unplated ones.

...........the infilling of the Hasegewa- catastrophic-moulding inverted lines was very good and successful. :thumbs_up_1:

the recent works show the promise of a superb model! :thumbs_up_1:

mate - that is looking awesome! I really like some of the Japanese battleships and cruisers. I'd love to make the Hyuga in her original form in 1/350 but I just can't bring myself to do the necessary mods to the only kit that exists of it said scale. I've been eying off the Haruna lately too.
I will be tuning into this build for sure. You do very inspirational work Joe!
