Lovely job - the flying saucer bay is excellent!  :thumbsup:

I also like the way he's faired in the deck edge around the superstructure. It's subtle, but it must have been a lot of work.

Pretty good, it follows the whole Yamato-spacecraft idea set. Yes, the Haunebau where the floatplanes went, Tamiya IL-28 wings, and a big ol motorcycle muffler underneath. The Seetakt radar might be a bit dated for their mission! unless its now their deflector shield grid.
