Going cross eyed with the mountain of PE, so a straight forward kit with NO PE!

FUJIMI 1/200 Yamato bridge and what a magnificent thing it is too


Instructions are in Japanese, thank god for the translation App! One idea i like a lot is as well as the part no, they tell you what the part was, ie part A7 AA platform or A 10 a signal platform. Never seen that before on any kit?? Great idea in a nerdy way!! So next label sprues and read if plans via translation App!

Practice for the 1/200 kit in the mighty stash!

Hope people are interested?

Also have the 1/350 Fujimi bridges for Fuso and Yamashiro. They both had the astonishing pagado bridges, tall is not the word!

Just think my nerves are very grateful but the swear box is not!

Certainly in for this Bob. Should build into a stunning model.
I have only come across instructions which "name" parts in very old Airfix kits. Things like "Attach steering wheel part 7 to steering column part 8. Mind you the whole instruction sheet fits on an A5 sheet

Hi Jim

Hope so!

Evening

Thought it would be a quick build, but the lower hull had a lot of scratches and what looked like seams and not where they should be. So fair bit of time spent sanding etc

The fit of about 90% of the parts is perfect, no need for glue!

More work

Not my area of knowledge but this looks very interesting. Will follow along.

Sure that posted on this... looks like it's going together well.

Hi Ian, the majority just click or snap in place. Hardly any glue needed. Will try a wash
