A buddy of mine is printing the nest for me as a gift, and WOW what a kit that is. Looks incredible. I'd really like to know the estimated scale of the model though. My guess would be like, 1:350 because that's typical battleship scale, but I was hoping someone had a definite answer
Hey guys! Went to tokkari and paid for the "pet the seals" experience. It was only ¥1,000 (like $6.10) to pet them. In pic 1 I'm petting meme-chan (who was very curious but a little grumpy). In pic 2, the one with her mouth open is Hanako-chan (who was really nice and very chatty) but I can't identify the other seal in the picture. Do you guys have any idea who it might be?
I'm making the sacred pilgrimage to tokkari in a few days. I can easily identify hiyori, katsunori, mashiro, tsuki and obviously meme, but is there a resource anywhere with a list of the seals, their names, and identifying traits? I'm so excited to see them and I want to get it right (:3っ)3
Got it for free from a pal of mine, but I would have paid NOT to do it.
Every subassembly was individually gorgeously detailed, but entirely incompatible with the other subassemblies. Absolute learning experience. BEAUTIFUL cockpit though.
Had a very funny moment when I was hanging out with my friend, talking about how I'd hit a snag with this kit. I wanted that iconic soviet white winter camo and I told him I didn't know how to paint soviet winter vehicles, when he pulled from behind his desk a box labeled "How to paint soviet ww2 winter vehicles"
Oh.
It contained all the paints, oils, enamels and pastels necessary for the process, as well as a book outlining all the steps.
Pretty happy how this one came out. Also added AK snow sprinkles and fruimodel metal tracks aged with VMS blacktrack. Elected to make a star stencil rather than use the included decal because I thought it'd look better
