I've been following this Japanese lady as she attempts to build a 1/200 scale version of the Yamato.  She's also gone the extra step and ordered higher detail brass etched components.  It's absolute insanity.

Sadly, she hasn't posted any updates in over 2 months.  I hope she didn't give up.

Carriers are kickass. 

I miss my USS Lexington I built when I was a kid.  One of those infamous "broken in a move" casualties.

My carrier from childhood sank after being filled with sugar and saltpeter and set alight.
OK, it didn't so much sink as burned to the water.line.

of all the subjects you could pick, why did you go with a carrier?

1. I bought it on impulse at my local Hobby Lobby and they didn't have the biggest selection
2. I used to built these quickly as a kid and then play with the little aircraft. It brings back those memories.
3. I love naval aviation. Specifically, late Cold War naval aviation.

Why? What's wrong with a carrier? If I build it well enough, it may also be worthy of display.
