@@wassey5066 My favorite paraphernalia was also; the aurora dome, I use to see these souviners in the Cabrillo College student book store. It's suppose to be made; for people/students who, don't do too well in astronomy science.
Kuma, I almost choked when I saw the red over spray on the deck, but you managed to fix it without leaving any evidence. Most excellent build! Thanks for sharing.
This build is amazing, well done. I ordered this kit a few days ago and can't wait to start it. Akagi is my second favorite carrier as Zuikaku will always be first in my book.
The IJN Akagi looks amazing. I really enjoy the 1/700 scale ship builds. The Master tool for carefully folding the photo etched parts looks quite handy to have.
Just sharing a fun fact. The IJN Akagi was originally designed as the second Amagi class battlecruiser along with her lead sister Amagi and their two other sisters Atago and Takao. The Amagi class battlecruiser was the planned successor of the preceding Kongo class battlecruisers. Takao was initially to have been named Ashitaka. Thanks to the Washington Naval Treaty, Amagi and Akagi were on the verge of being scrapped until a proposal to convert them into aircraft carriers under the displacement limit of 27,000 tons was made and approved. Due to the great kanto earthquake during 1923, Amagi's heavily damaged hull was scrapped and Atago along with Takao were cancelled. Source: Wikipedia.
And yet again you proved yourself as the grandmaster mister Kuma. And yet again I would like to thank you again for sharing this beautiful masterpiece with me. I’ll enjoy every single minute watching it. Keep on Please 👍👍
Me: Dude, your ship isn't a waifu snap out of it or i'll personally send the Bismarck to you and sink you like the damn tea kettle Hood! My friend: _Shows Azur Lane_
Azur lane Akagi: yandere, kitsuine, powerhouse and sexy Waifu Kancolle Akagi: glutton, cute, cheerful, powerful and sexy Waifu Me: why not both Both waifus by your side
The Akagi and Kaga were found right around the time you made this video by "coincidence". Yeah right, you raised the wreckage, restored it and then used a shrink gun on it, quite clearly.
I hope this doesn't came across the wrong way because this is an EPIC built. I couldn't even dream of building something this good. The one thing though that jumped out at me right away was the aircraft props. They are soooo thick and out of scale. I'm astonished that there isn't and photoetch for the propellers. Again to be clear this critique is nothing against the builder but toward the manufacturer/ aftermarket people
Great model! The Akagi is my favourite ijn ship. I`m making this model kit too. The pe ladders are very hard to bend and glue without breaking. But it will be also a nice model in a showcase, with nameplate In my opinion FUJIMI did a great job on this model. If anyone is thinking about to build it, i would say: do it! Greetings from Germany
VERY COOL!!!!👍👍👍😁 That use of photo-etch (PE) is Super, that flight deck netting needed to go, but I would have sanded it down.......But just cutting it out would do, since you are covering it with the wood flight deck....EXCELLENT! THANKS for showing us how You place the 'wood deck' "sticker", I always wondered how to place that down....for future ship models!! Your paint job is "Out-of-this-World!!", VERY Well done, Great masking from the white lines to the Japanese flag......and Yes, Don't use 'Post-It' paper for masking....done that also, but Good recovery, overall!!! I was going to ask you about your planes and boats, I used PE for both of those...did you take a look at that option, just asking because I see you don't have Any Fear in doing PE! I Was surprised that the girders weren't photo-etch, (drilling out holes) that must have been surprising. I think that Your Akagi, and my Kaga should "get together", check it out.... ua-cam.com/video/HB-vtyKoyxk/v-deo.html Overall a Super Build, especially with that PE!!!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I wasn’t able to find any PE for the planes and boats so I had to go out of the box. Your work on your Kaga is very impressive.
thank you for the build, i wonder , between this and Hasegawa Akagi, which have better detail ? ANother thing is, i see you using Trumpeter PE bending tool, does it make from metal completely and sturdy enough ?, i still undecide between it and U-star PE bender
Thank you very much! I haven't seen the Hasegawa kit so I can't say. Yes I have no complaints with the PE bender it works very well! I haven't tried the U-star PE bender but which ever you choose just be gentle when bending.
@@achmadkhamzah3201 Amagi class is a battle cruiser. Not a battle ship. In Azur lane Battle Cruisers and Battleships are both back line and fulfill the same role. Battleships have heavy armor and Battlecruisers have medium armor in Azur Lane. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amagi-class_battlecruiser
Wow very nice build Im in awe of your skills Ive purchased the same model but the "perfect" version is sold out I was wondering if you had time to nominate all the colours you used as I would like to purchase - not to try and replicate you but my own version, also what glue did you use for PE? Ive also puchased Hiryu, Kaga Soryu and Yorktown Hornet and Enterprise I'll create 2 seperate dioramas to recreate Midway Luv your work thanks
Thank you very much! For the paint that I used: Lower Hull Color - Tamiya XF-7 Flat Red (90%) + Tamiya XF-9 Hull Red (10%) Main Hull Color - Tamiya XF - 75 IJN Gray (Kure Arsenal) For glue I used Loctite super glue.
I think it depends on what you will be using the clay for. If you’re gonna use the clay to fuse stuff together it may eventually break in the future. If you’re gonna use clay for small accessories like sand bags then I think you’re good. Just make sure to let the clay dry solid.
Hi! I asked you before about the wash,but i found the enamel thinner to be quite aggressive, so i got best results with white spirit when removed excess You said you diluted it,what ratio ? I struggle to find the balance, in my case, how is it to dilute it with white spirit?:)
Thank you very much! I started with gunpla also! The Fujimi NEXT kits (like this one) are snap-built and pre-paitned so it's a good starting point coming from gunpla in my opinion.
A great build,have this one myself but from hasegawa,akagi truely is a beauty,though I think Kaga looks just a little bit better. Only negative point I see in you built is.your choice of planes,from what I could see you seem to have some B6N tenzan torpedo planes on the flight deck. Akagi never carried these into battle since they werent ready until after akagi had been sunk
Thank you very much! Sadly I didn't think to film that part. To fix it I used Tamiya paint remover and used a cotton swab to slowly remove the overspray.
Hi! I used nippers to remove the parts from the sprue, then a hobby knife to remove any nubs from the part. Then I have Tamiya Tweezers for handling the small parts. The airbrush I was using here was the Tamiya SprayWorks Basic Air Compressor set. The sticky green gum is Faber-Castelle's Tack it.
Imagine being an American pilot in ww2 and flying just at the cloud line and seeing the big circle painted on the deck of the ship.. It's like a giant bullseye ;p
I’ve got the earlier “three flight deck” version ready for a build someday. I’m saving your video for helpful tips. Many thanks for a great build!

Kiirbyy 4 Kaga no Akagi 1week, depression continues
500+ runs, 1 Akagi last week, I have bb kaga I'm done
Started playing azur lane a week ago and got akagi and kaga within three days of non stop grinding
Akagi : hey kaga look that our new commander~

I almost choked when I saw the red over spray on the deck, but you managed to fix it without leaving any evidence.
Most excellent build!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! I learned a very valuable lesson with that huge blunder.

Good thing if you like the app, not so much with other people

Same hahaahaa
Tbh, I'm the only person who had the profile pic of Kaga btw
I got TWO of these from grinding 3-4

The wooden decks were such a flaw with them battleships.
The US made quick work of them in the Battle of Midway.
The bombs went right through them.
@@KumaModels the bombs exploded in the hangar when the aircraft were under the armament and refueling process
The US carriers also had wooden decks. Only the British carriers had armored flight decks (well, up to the US Midway class)
How did you fix the overspray on the wood deck. I’d love to know.
He only had to repaint that area to cover it.
I used a bit of paint remover first to wipe off most of the overspray, then found a paint of similar color to the wood and gave it a light coat.
こんにちは！こんな素晴らしい赤城を作っていただきありがとうございます！

6:52 The linoleum deck material was secured to the decks using brass strips
Who said that u could stop mining? Back to the fox mines with you!
