Now it may not seem like much, but I’ll filled in the massive hull plates that a person would be able to stand on and also drilled out the amidships portholes which will have porthole covers open if they can ever clear the airlines at Sydney airport. Once I be done the deck (next painting job), I can do the splinter camo scheme on the hull and superstructures that should blend it in nicely.

No mate, too big and too new I think. Mind you it never went far so it would have gotten some alge in the Med

Because the hull has been designed as a waterline but the central deck in also moulded in as well as support structures. When you join the base and the upper works it has a 1mm edge to sit it on. I have had to cut out bits of plastic soni can get my fingers in to try and get it to sit flush.

Nothing like a primer coat to show off your sins. Seriously Trumpeter just does not care at times. Every person who’s built this has said the same thing, the hull is a pig to put together.

Sanding, filling, sanding. Hull is finally ready for a primer coat so I can etch in the hull panels. The shafts and rudder put in, with the two secondary rudders moved up the hull as is required (apparently) I’ve removed all the vents which will be replaced ive also drilled in some holes for the ladders on the hull

So I’m stuck at home for 7 days in ‘Rona’ isolation. Time to bite the bullet and attack the hull which Is a pig. Every other build mentions this. The hull plates are way too deep and pretty much wrong, which means I’m going to have to drill out the porthole fire and after and add ringols after significant sanding. the portholes amidships are already closed and I’ll open them up and add the port hole covers. Nearly all of the deck details will have to be cut off and replaced. It’s like being a little bit pregnant

1/200 Trumpeter IJN YAMATO - issued by MRC/Gallery Models
RGL replied to yvesvidal's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
Too big for me! I have a LOT of reference material for her so let me know if you need anything. Trumpeter won’t build Japanese warships but obviously their subsidiaries will. It’s a bit like spitfire kits, people will always buy one. There is some amazing stuff coming up in 1/200 but damn it’s going to take up a lot of space.- 104 replies

The main mast, I’ve replaced the upper masts with brass, I find that when it comes to rigging it’s the only thing that works

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
