Didn't get on the net last night, sorry...

here is the overhead shot of Mitsuko-jima that shows the camouflage and relative positions of both carriers...with the Amagi under bombing attack to the middle left and Katsuragi to the right.

Could you translate the info on the bottom of the picture, please Shinpachi?

Overlayed with present Mitsuko-jima.
This island is now used as a logistic center of imported salt.

Thank you Wayne for more impressive photograph.
Yes, it's so close that camo details can be observed well.

The caption says "Camouflaged 'Amagi' under attack(seen downward). Got the 3 direct and some close hits on July 24 and more several close hits on July 28, 1945, it had leaked and capsized."

I am beginning to wish to visit Mitsuko-jima someday.
On the way to the island from Osaka, I will also sure to visit Onomichi city where real size battleship "YAMATO" which was originally made for a movie is still displayed.

***************************

Thorlifter! Thank you for the compliment!

To tell you the truth, I am a fan of Boeing B-298)
I would like to introduce more works on another opportunity in the near future.
Please keep in touch.

Nice day all!

Sorry, I can't find "Yamato" at Onomichi shipbuilder's yard any longer.
It has been displaced or - camouflaged perfectly!

Wayne, Sorry for my frequent postings.
I don't know why but new image is coming up in my brains on this thread.

Please see the course of event for the time being.
I will be tired soon

Note: I have applied TERRAGEN software, a 3d terrain generator.
The battleship looks alike a battleship but it is merely an island on the
software. 3D effect by cross-eye viewing.

Sunk Yamato in 3d stereo view.

Wayne, I will be looking forward to seeing your scale model Amagi but
please do not hurry. I always don't want to give any pressure to anybody
as I don't want to be done so either.

hey those are nice clear images...looks good.

I certainly won't hurry with the Amagi, but I will chip away at it.

It's a reasonable kit that requires a lot of work, that's for sure!
