Strike cruiser?

Work continues, letting out the deck on the other side:

I think I may have let it out too far, but its all glued and reinforced so too late to redo it.

Anyway this kit has got me thinking that I should drop the rest of my planned builds and whip out my other Izumo and do something like this:

Say hello to my little frien':

Main hull primed and ready for paint, unfortunately I forgot to glue and putty the ski jump before priming:

Finally addition of AEGIS:

Almost finished, just deck markings and airwing to go.

Don't be surprised if you are contacted by JMSDF regarding their next ship. :)

Love the dazzle camo which seems the perfect compliment!

Looking forward to seeing this beauty cross the finish line!

Deck markings:

Was actually a bit of a disaster, I originally used strips of ultra thin styrene for the lines, but after I finished gluing them on I realized they looked crap so I had to chisel them off resand and repaint the deck (destroying the forward elevator decal). The new lines were done with paint masks, naturally this process knocked off most of the antennas( haven't built a ship in a while - should have done them last). Also I wasn't going to bother with PE handrails, but the front section looked a bit bare so I decided to do the whole ship.

How many cells in that extremely impressive VLS farm?

Something like this strikes me as a rational way to approach a modern heavy cruiser type ship today. Big VLS farm, maybe a 155mm gun on the fo'c'sle lots of AAD missiles a few large strike missile launchers and sufficient air assets to self protect against ASW and air threats.

Like the concept.

256 cells
The original design did call for either a 5-inch gun or two 3-inch guns, but I guess I just forgot about it while building.

Looks like a million bucks and that fractal camo is the cherry on top of total awesome!
