As a result of winning a recent eBay auction, I now own a model of the INS Ise that I can add to my collection of 1/1200th-scale Imperial Japanese Navy ships.
(42,001 tons; 25 knots; 12 x 14-inch guns, 16 x 5.5-inch guns; 8 x 5-inch AA guns; 20 x 25mm AA guns; a catapult; 3 floatplanes)
I now own an example of each of the Japanese battleships that were in service in 1941.

ReplyDeleteThat is one collection that, were I the jealous type, I would envy you. The 'Ise' is a particular favourite of mine, just because of that dramatic command tower arrangement.

DeleteIt’s not a bad little collection and it’s not cost me a fortune to put together. The models need tidying up and repainting, but once that’s done, they will look great in action!
All the best,
Bob
I'll be keeping an eye out for that!

DeleteI might give it a go later this summer … once the weather returns to normal.
All the best,

BOB,
ReplyDeleteWill you be doing an American Fleet to go up against the Japanese- I'd imagine that the American ship models are readily available. All the best. KEV.

DeleteI’ve already got plans to acquire some USN models but not for the immediate future.
All the best,
