 STEP 4: Set up of Ship's side Parts
 Attachment of sponsons
machine gun sponson in the hull is attached. Pillars are attached in the
bottom of gun sponson with some 0.5mm brass rods. Long pillars are using
stainless steel rods, in order to obtain intensity. After attaching pillars,
beam is constructed with 0.3mm plastic sheet on the reverse side of gun
sponson.

| The pillars for gun sponson made with 0.5mm brass rods. |

The 2 long pillars near the stern are using stainless steel rods, in order
to obtain intensity. |
Modeling of front part structure of hull
 Cannon shooting command place has a roof by the kit. Since it was a mistake,
it was remade to the open roof type.There are pillars of truss type in
some sponsons. Those pillars are constructed with brass rod.
#1. I added #1 catwalk because it was omitted, and shaved #2 catwalk to
the same thickness as "1.
 The grate for emergency space is made from some brass rods. The log was
made from the runner. If the plastic runners who painted by about three
kinds of different colors is governed, the wooden feeling of quality will
come out.
Modeling of Accessories
Boat and cutter were used from the renewal part and equipment set from
PIT ROAD. Other accessories are scratch build.

Scratch build of Flight deck pillars
 The pillars supporting ｔhe overhang part of a flight deck were remade. As for the reason, thickness of pillars is because it is insufficient.
The pillars of a bow drops the angle. And the pillars of a stern makes
a punch hole.
Scratch build of Flight deck pillars
About front pillars Since inclination of the pillar of order became parallel,
I changed those attachment positions. About back pillar, truss type pillar
is changed into the photoetch. I used the photoetch part of truss type
pillar for "SHINANO" contained in Japan aircraft carrier set
by "Gold Medal Model". The rods are constructed by the diagonal
brace between the pillars of the hull rear. This portion is reproduced
by the brass line.
In addition, in accordance with this, the attachment position of pillar
by side of flight deck reverse side is corrected.

| The diagonal braces are brass lines. The truss type pillar are photoetch
for CV Shinano |

The holes for elevator type searchlights. |
Paint of Hull
"HAYES GRAY" of TAMIYA spray color was used for paint of hull.
I emphasized ups and downs of surface by carrying out the spray of shadow
to the portion which became deep at back. I painted the highlight color
by performing a dry brush on edge lightly by The color which mixed white
with the hull color a little.
Attachment of Hand rail
 The hand rail used product made from Gold Medal company. I attached it
in the hull, after painting hand rail previously.
