So, hitting a bit of a sow down on my F-8 build, I decided to do a 'quick' sci-fi to see if I can break the pattern I've got. Quick being relative, as we rarely see eye to eye. So, I am starting with Bandai's 1/1000 AAA-class Andromeda kit, I'll be using the superstructure from the Ginga kit, In order to make an Aquarius variant. Some changes will be made, the dome shape from the front will be replaced, either by more squared details and maybe lowering it some, or even a third turret. We'll see how it goes. And I'll also be bulking up the lower hull scoop, like I did with the Nike. For now, we're starting with the some interior structure used to support the hull sides. But pretty quick I needed to do some extra work. There's a lower door in the stern, similar to that on the Yamato where the fighter's launch from. It is meant to open, but with nothing to see inside, I've decided to glue it shut. The fit is not perfect though, so I added a shim to one side to close it up. After that, I cleaned up some mold lines on the aux engine nacelles. And then started putting the hull sides on. Gotta hand it to Bandai, this fits together real nice! More updates to come, hopefully at the double-quick! Thom https://imgur.com/a/0gzprLs
