Nice work, and a not very often seen remark about Tamiya being poor, but maybe not a strange remark for a PE wizzard 👍

More great things being done here,Kari. I'm surprised by the quality of the kit also.

Bert & Jeff, I know that normally ony would not complain about the quality of Tamiya kit but in this case the technology has been developing significantly since the 1970's. But it is a real shame that Tamiya has not released a newer version of this famous battleship

Finally managed to complete the glueing of the portholes (frames & blind covers). Not difficult but a sizable task (around 360 pieces) and once again, I had problems with my CA glue (probably lost its adhision properties). Surprisingly, lost only a couple of these tiny pieces - one found in my kitchen which is 10 meters from my modelling desk !
Also, the aircraft hangar is ready for the primer. I did not bother to avoid some mistakes, because it will be mostly invisible. Just wanted to practise my scratch building skills.

360 portholes... I think all of my builds together are still less parts 🤣
And that hangar looks great 👍👍

I'll help as I have several aircraft carriers under construction myself. Plus some additional ships so we'll have a proper navy here soon!
