Very interesting video, never heard of u- boat attacks on the bridge.

I was watching a YT unboxing and it doesn't have any hangar detail .
for that kinda coin ?
yikes .

hangar detail

... I can imagine that must be disappointing.

 

[urumomo]

Not to me - I ain't buying no 1/350 ship , haha .

 

[urumomo]

They should have included a fully detailed hangar and upped the price .
Anyone that wants it bad enough to pay 350 will gladly pay 4 or 450 for a better kit .

This is funny.
I have had a complete model of CVN-78 for well over two years now.
(although the release began in 2021)

1/350 scale.
Hanger details and a ton of deck accessories (deck equipment, aircraft, etc) included!

And the kit was (still is) completely free.
(The designer does accept donations if you are so inclined)

 

[urumomo]

I assume this is a paper model since you are the one posting it ?

Might you please provide a link for anyone interested in acquiring one .

 

[airdave]

Oh sorry. Forgot about that.

Yes, the model is here: https://papermodel.jp/cvn78-index.html

As with many Japanese designers, you sometimes have to jump thru a few hoops to download things
but this site is pretty straightforward.
And you may have to use a translator (I use Google Translate, works fine).

This project took almost 4 years, and he released each stage of the model as a separate download package.
Hence the way the download page looks.
Each download package(PDF) has a full page build tutorial if you click the thumbnail of each one.
(Another common practice among Japanese designers)
When you click the PDF link, the PDF should load and then you can save it to your computer.

All the accessories (aircraft, equipment, etc) came at the end, and are obviously optional.
The model obviously requires printing on cardstock.
He is suggesting normal 65lb cardstock (around 170gsm) for most of the construction.
