| | 04 Mar 2010 10:10 AM | | Hi,
The Hyuga and Ise were to be the 3rd and 4th members of the Fuso class, but a financial crisis (japan had beggered itself fighting the Russians and was spending about 30% of it's GDP on its armed forces) caused a delay. This allowed some redesign to be carried out and a different gun and boiler arrangment.
Conway's says "a modified Fuso, slightly lengthened'
This indicates that the 1915 version of Fuso (available in AotS) would do for your hull and sections.
There is a Japanese language pictorial history available at Pacific Front (http://www.pacificfront.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3576). I don't know the quality of this publication, but I have the one on British Carriers and the pictures in that are excellent. | | | |

| | 31 Mar 2010 06:22 PM | | Miyukikai has good plans. I bought a set of the BBCV and they are glorious. Having 4 sets of Haruo-san's work in the shop, I highly recommend him. Also, buy straight from him, not from the US sources. Straight from him, you get the plans with a book of details for US$24, including shipping! It takes 2 weeks to get the plans, a very good deal, I think. | | | |

| | 14 Apr 2010 10:20 AM | | Tugboat, can you post the link to that site. A good set of plans would make the conversion I am doing much easier, since I am using drawing and pics of models right now.
Thanks, J | | | "There it is again...kind of a BOOM sound" -short lived Allied lookout | |
