Off to a good start Lucas! Funny thing about the Akagi...at one point in her life she had more than one flight deck and aircraft could be launched off the different decks simultaneously through that opening in the bow. I bet that made life really interesting for those pilots. Seriously??? That is just a little bit crazy! Air ops must have been crazy with two flight decks in simultaneous operation. |

all guns installed > CHECK antennas installed > CHECK protection nets installed > CHECK missing life boats glued on > CHECK Akagi is ready for paint!     |

Looking good Lucas! Only one question.How are you going to paint this with it glued together or did you leave it to be disassembled?  |

A very good question, Leon. I asked me the same thing. Of course its the traditional way and makes some things easier. In this case, I found it would be tricky to install the deck, although its very precisely molded. A very small brush should do the trick too.
