Looking good Wayne. What's the overall length of the model ?

 

[Wayne Little]

340mm long Terry.

The real Kaga was just under 240m long in reality, little over 800 feet.

Thanks Wayne. It's a reasonable size for the small scale then.

 

[Gnomey]

It is, but still more small fiddly bits to add yet....doing a Light Cruiser as well and this has More parts than the Carrier...and more smaller fiddly bits...

Thanks for looking in Guys.

Too small a scale for my knackered hands to work with !

Sometimes I wonder why I torture myself.....

cost is the big issue usually for size. this is a fairly specialised model, and at 340mm length there would be a few bobs worth of cost here.

you can easily shelve out 300 smackers for a big scale ship model

Wayne,

Do you have any books that you are working from for any of this?

Cost on the 1/700 Carriers can vary from about $30-40 to 60 or 70 if there is extra stuff in the kits. The 1/350 scale is the pricy stuff as these can get into the $250-350 range and in some cases the etch accessories can can add another $30-40 up to double or triple this depending on just how much you want to do.

Wayne,

Yeah a couple of Japanese books, but this one is pretty much straight forward.
