Was looking thru Out of Print @ my favorite order house, and guess what was relisted as in stock, I did not even think about it. After seeing what can be made from this kit, my debit card in hand, order placed. I went back and re-read the complete thread and noticed you mentioned Tom's Model Works, which I am familar with, outstanding PE work, I did not know he was producing 1:200 railing, or did you special order. I also mentioned in another post about GoldModel, but to get in 1:200 scale, one must be prepaired to lay out some heavey cash for the custom work. One of the neat things they do for the Titanic is produce a fret for those lovely iron work benches that are all over the ship. I believe your build has shown that this beauty can be built, and built to a high standard as she comes from Fly, of which I am not sure, but I understand one of the brothers died just recently, do not know what impact that will have for Fly kits! I just wonder, what if you replaced the decking w/veneer planking (drawn), add all the PE, (that would be alot of custom work and money), and replace all windows w/micro-scope slide glass painted out to block access to interior, but have the reflective surface that only comes from glass. Then again, building straight from kit as you have done is outstanding already. How much would you charge for a copy of your drawings of the dericks. I too am working on the IJN Yubari and am waiting to see your build of this one as well, though I know you will not reutrn until done with this beauty. I have added some parts, PE and a set of kit bashed barrels to go with the build. A fan!
