Thanks. You do great work @RGL👍
waiting for more news!

Got it 😀

Hi mellow guys. Can someone tell me which Woden deck is the best do 1:200 Yamato Trampeter please? I am new to modeling and went for hard project. I know 🙂. And also need advice what kind of magnifying lamp or head one to buy? I can see that some of them are from 8X up. Thank you for your advice guys. Ship is coming in few days 😀. I hope my wife will not get heart attack when will see the box.

Hi guys. I just found that there are two different numbers for 1:200 Yamato Trampeter. Or maybe I need glasses 😀. Can somebody help me please which one is the newest? 
I just found MonoChrome | No. 64010 | 1:200. Is this. It’s said that is newest model or Glow2B 505805200 is the same model?

1:200 Yamato model is more expensive than 1:350, but 1:200 has 15 sheets of photo etch where for 1:350 you have to buy extra. I know that there are some extra photo etch for 1:200, but will buy it 🙂. My wife will get probably heart attack when box will arrive 🤪.

Mate it depends where you live for taxes and shipping. You have to shop around the world 

One more question @RGL. With your experience now would you build the same scale model or would you go for 1:200 Yamato ?

Moving along, I have done everything t the deck I can do before painting. There are marked places for the stanchions but I cannot drill them until I do up the hull.

 

The Forecastle is a very nice mold. As you can see from the AOTS there is not really much to be done here.

 

The Tamiya capstan and cable holder are fairly bland; and I have replaced them with the Chrysanthemum set which is just lovely.

 

 

The front hawser hole is provided by Tamiya but the other brass is all Pontos.

 

Now it's in its' box until painting time. What next?

Hi RGL. You done great job. But I have question to you. Is it worth to but Pontos PE kit like on this link?
