Imperial Japanese Navy Battleship....YAMATO!

Ok, so, someone out there who is a ship modeling purist will no doubt not appreciate this, but I thought it was funny as h*ll. A friend of mine told me about this, and I just had to get it. I've spent the last 2 years working on the super detailed Fujimi 1/500 Yamato special edition. And for the last year [at least], I get to hear about once a month at the model meetings "hey, hows the Yamato going?" So I built this, took it to the meeting, and said "there, its done. Its the Fujimi Yamato".

Well, I didn't lie. This is the Fujimi Chibi-maru IJN Yamato. Yes, Fujimi is now making egg-ships. It went together great. The only thing I did was hog out the "mickey mouse" radar and add some mesh screen. Paint is Tamiya IJN Kure Arsenal grey.

:laugh: That's cute! I didn't know they made egg ships.

Thanks Terry. Yeah, they have released 2 helicopters [Little Bird and a Hughes 300?] and just two ships, Musashi and Yamato.
 
Haha, I really like that. I've always really liked the egg planes, so I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for that.
 
Viper is an egg-cellent modeler. I can see how he Scrambled to build this Yamato in a short time. These are really tidy little kits, so it goes Over Easy to build one. There are photo-etch sets for these, for a really Sunny Side Up model. Now there are a Dozen or so of these, Including IJN CV Akagi, The Haruna class Battleships, a Yukikaze Destroyer, and IJN Mogami, as a hermaphrodite seaplane cruiser. I do like to make a Model, and make a YOKE! It isn't hard to egg-splain my fondness for these subjects. It's egg-citing! Even for a Hard Boiled ship builder, like myself!
Anyone else have a shameless egg-pun for this thread? :tomato :skipper
