@@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.
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.
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 👍👍
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
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.... ruclips.net/video/HB-vtyKoyxk/видео.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.
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
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
i didn't think i would watch this whole video, but you are indeed a skilled craftsman. That took a very steady hand, but you put detail that puts you in a level above the normal model builder. very nice work on such a small piece. Your photography was excellent as well.
@@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.
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
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.
Wow! Brilliant build there!! 👍👍..steady hands u hv..im in love building 1/700 scale but too bad hv sweating & wobbly hand's which cnt do much on photo etched part and ragging
oh um also to make those white bags (although it's my own idea) cut some white fabric in scale and use thin metal rods to wrap them around and then later cut the bags into the scale I hope this is a little help ^_^
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
Everyone whining about not having akagi. In the time of three days of grinding, I got 2 akagis and kagas. My luck with women isn't great, but my ships love me for who I am
One for the beautifullest ship ever created Not Just in Azur Lane She's beautiful irl too And this modell just shows us her beauty Thanks for their amazing video
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.
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!
Thank you very much! I'm glad I could help with your build!

Its a good thing people playing this app though
I played it once
Lol yup

still grinding in 3-4
baus meat facts yo
@Kiirbyy 1 month for me 0 akagi and 1 kaga and already gave up grinding
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
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.
Thank you! Yup it's very handy especially for the bigger photo etched parts.
What a great build. Akagi was certainly the dowager of all IJN carriers & deserves recognition.
Thank you very much!
Akagi: Shikkikan-sama, am I beautiful. Hehe~
Me: I think you're always pretty ❤
Amazing work, I think you’ve inspired me to dig that same kit out and finally build it. Glad I found your channel.

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)
Nice work, that’s a beautiful ship.

Can I use clay insted of putty?In India modelling putty is very expensive.
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.

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.
if this dude knew about quick finishers we wont be here for too long.
I beat 3-4 for first time then akagi drop

Man as much as i love photoetch that would be way too much for me to do. but really nice work you did with it.

oh um also to make those white bags (although it's my own idea) cut some white fabric in scale and use thin metal rods to wrap them around and then later cut the bags into the scale
