The class namesake, as usual 1/2400 & GHQ. There may be some defects with the paintjiob, I had to redo it altogether as the matte seal ruined it the 1st time (and the 6 measly aircraft deckload was all that was left on the spare sprue).
This said, the background in some pics is AI generated, either Grok or ChatGPT, can't remember. A great way of getting nice enhancements for our miniatures! ;) Paint scheme is how she looked in June 1944 at the battle of the Philippines Sea.

A very nice paint job. How did the matte finish ruin the first paint job? |

I used spray seal. There must have remained some dried stuff in the muzzle (my mistake, I should have taken better care of this…) and this gave a snowy effect. Thankfully, I could acetone-strip the disaster, and get it back ready to paint. I had to reorder the deck decal though. |

A great job. At first glance I thought it was a photo, until I realized "the base". Oh. |

Wonderful job. She would feel perfectly at home on "Murderers Row." |
