Back in my control line flying days, I went for the German ones. Maybe it was the colors and the looks? I guess the same goes for the Swedish Wasa 1628. Over the top impressive at its time, but failed extraordinaire kind of direct. Quote Happy modelling!

madtatt Posted October 15, 2023 #92 Posted October 15, 2023 Hello everyone. Thanks for the kit presentation, Yves. My wife accepted the model when the postman came. I thank God that she likes my hobby so much. Of course there is already a Pontos set for the ship. Three sheets of instructions. Now made a little more understandable than before. All sorts of brass parts and resin blast bags. The obligatory wooden deck. Very good large etched parts for the deck. I hope you can see that through the bags. I don't like unpacking it before I start building. Fantastic surface details. As always with Pontos. Five etched part sheets and one sheet of dry decal. By the way, I still have parking spaces for the 1:200 monsters. 😅 yvesvidal, Landlubber Mike, Canute and 4 others 3 4 Quote Greets Jölle. modellmarine

CDW Posted October 18, 2023 #95 Posted October 18, 2023 @yvesvidal Could one of these be incorporated into the model, to be removable to show the turret detail? Could be very interesting.

But at least he was smart enough not to leave his wife stuck with trying to get rid of it when his tomorrows come to an abrupt end. How ever, I do love you tomorrow modellers because you keep me busy, God bless you. But one consolation is the kit even if not built is magificent just to set and stare at, which I do quite often while building the Calypso. Uhggggg, yes, tomorrow never comes for those projects. I am doing another "Swedish Death Cleaning sort" for my wife's benefit of my massive kit stash. Of course, I have the giant Nichimo Yamato and all of the Fujmi replacement fixes. I probably should post some of my kits for sale here. Of course, if Trumpy really wants to sell a zillion kits a 1/200 Kongo or any American cruiser would likely do very well. I might even build a USS Houston! mtaylor, mtdoramike and CDW 3 Quote
mtdoramike Posted October 22, 2023 #97 Posted October 22, 2023 I finished building the Trumpeter 1/200 scale USS Missouri a few months ago. It turned out beautifully. I intend to donate it when I'm finished looking at it. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote

John68 Posted May 11 #100 Posted May 11 I've just ordered mine; it should be in later in the week...very excited!!! I could not find wooden decks for this, however, on Scaledecks. You indicated that this kit and the Trumpeter (distributed by Monochrome) kits come from the same molds? Therefore, the aftermarket wooden decks for the Trumpeter/Monochrome kit should fit the deck of this Gallery/MRC offering? I'm thinking of buying one and seeing. I'll probobly obstain from too much aftermarket as this Gallery kit comes loaded!!! mtaylor, CDW and Canute 3 Quote
yvesvidal Posted May 14 Author #101 Posted May 14 (edited) Yes, I am not too sure about the quality of the wooden decks available on E-Bay: a few people have complained about the fitting. I would do some research before investing in anything. This French modeller, used a set by Vallejo to paint the deck: https://www.laroyale-modelisme.net/t32163-cuirasse-ijn-yamato-trumpeter-1-200-de-diablon Yves Edited May 14 by yvesvidal Olaf, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote

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. Hi RGL. I found your old post. Do you still have any parts for 1/200 Yamato? Worth to ask even after so long time 🙂. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote
Olaf Posted June 21 #103 Posted June 21 @madtatt. Did you start already building your 1/200 Yamato model? Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
