I recently wrote a blog post about buying a 1:1200th-scale model of IJNS Fuso and lamenting the fact that it depicted the ship as it appeared after its reconstruction in the 1920s and late 1930s. In response to this, one of blog readers – Neil Pattertson – suggested that I contact XP Forge, who include a 3D-printed resin model of IJNS Fuso 'as built' in the range of products that they sell. I looked at the website, saw that the cost of the model was only £10.00 (plus postage) ... and bought one!
It has now been delivered, and it looks like this:
It needs to be painted, but at least I now have a model of IJNS Fuso as she was when she became the 'Furious Fuso' during the Madasahatta Campaign.

BOB,
ReplyDeleteA very accurate and detailed model of the FUSO- Do you have other 1/1200th scale WW2 Ships Bob? Best Wishes. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteIt is a nice model.
I have small collection of 1:200th/1:1250th-scale models, most of which are plastic models made by Airfix or Miniships.
All the best,
Bob
