Don My 1:200 USS Hornet (CV-8) will be roughly 49" long when complete, and it's impressive as heck. LSP_Matt, Uncarina and MARU5137 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I have the 1/200 USS Enterprise and Arizona to build. Both of those are pretty big. The Yamato will be a head turner too! Cheers...Ron MARU5137, Uncarina and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 I have at least three Pontos sets: two in 1/200 scale and one (maybe two*) in 1/72 scale. Even in those scales there are an amazing number of tiny pieces. I can only imagine how microscopic the pieces are for their 1/700 set. Cheers, Tom *I strongly suspect Pontos provided the extra parts in my Revell Type VIIC/41 Platinum kit. MARU5137 and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Very pretty boat. Bad way for it to die. Isn’t there a really HUGE model of it in Japan somewhere? I mean REALLY big? MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 And the full scale model they made for a movie. From the bridge forward, full size. MARU5137, Uncarina, LSP_Matt and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I may have to eventually snatch the Takom 1:72 Yamato turret kit. LSP_Matt and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 The display base for this beast could cost as much as the kit. My plan for the HMS Rodney I’m building is to get an aquarium from the petstore, flip it upside down, and voila! $100, or cheaper when there’s a sale.
