Thanks!That's a nice looking build Jesse.
Yes sir.Lots going on here.
You are likely correct. This doesn't have the middle elevator attached.Real decks are pretty crowded so you may be able to squeeze them all in
Geo said it's possible.Have you got room for one more!
Excellent. Reading about the Kaga was interesting as well. I was thinking of having the aircraft from the first strike, which included one B5N2 from Akagi, two A6M2bs from Kaga, and the rest are going to be Hiryus aircraft after the other three were set ablaze. The numbers above come the report of what was available.This is how they were placed at Midway

Finally started on two things for the IJN aircraft carrier decks with aircraft. One will be of the IJN Akgi carrier deck (The Doyusha kit) and the Sweet IJN carrier deck that will be IJN Hiryu. The hardest thing was finding the decals to put on the aircraft. The resin ones weren't as bad as I thought they might be. Still do have to build the A6M2bs for the Hiryu.

These are the Bandi D3A1s. I still have to put the B5N2s together. I did decide on two B5N2s from Hiryu and one D3A1, with two A6M2s. Again, lucky to have found the decals I need for them. The Akagi deck will only get one B6N2 and one D3A1.

That looks great. Impressive in many ways. Can't wait to see the final, completed project, good sir.Finally started on two things for the IJN aircraft carrier decks with aircraft.

I painted the deck. I had a time finding one that looked right to me. Been slacking.That looks great. Impressive in many ways. Can't wait to see the final, completed project, good sir.
All the frustration, time and $@√l language melts away when you see that completed dessert rat Jeep, all set up with supplies and that twin machine gun set up. Makes it all e worth it.I must say that I'm enjoying these old Airfix and Italeri kits, even if in some parts of the build they make youbecause fit issues etc., but then again they're 50+ year old kits!
