1/700 IJN Zuikaku (Fujimi0
This is the IJN Zuikaku as it was (to the best of my research) on October 24th, 1944 around 12pm during the battle off Cape Engaño (part of the battle of Leyte Gulf).This is my second ship model and I have completed it in about a year, on and off. This was my first time trying myself in painting a camouflage, making a sea base, and using a number of different techniques, tools and products. As my goal is to learn rather than producing a "perfect" model, I am happy with the outcome.
