Following on from the IJNS Deadly Six WIP post, more carriers take shape in 1/3000. The Hiryu and Soryu can now be fielded on "table" along with the Kaga and Akagi.
Viewed from high level recon:
All CV's are again from Navwar.
Dropping down to a lower level, in a less realistic berthed parade formation. The rest of the IJN and US Pacific Fleet are edging their way towards the painting table. I had fun painting these, although one has to reflect on the wisdom of those large "rising suns" make rather excellent aiming points :)
Two more to go to get the Deadly Six for the Pearl Harbour attack.

Very nice !
I am painting the same fleet with Navwar miniature too.
Are you painting all the fleet ?
Cheers Tfigs,
Yes, I am a bit of a Naval 1/3000 junkie. So from the Philippine Sea Battle Pack I purchased the rest of the IJN. I am now in the process of expanding the US Fleet to cover the conflict.
This is in addition to oodles if North Atlantic and Med stuff from WWI and WWII
:)
Great painting. These look really awesome. Tora Tora Tora!!!
Cheers Paul,
Whether I ever get to "use them" is another matter ;)
Pacific carrier battles tend to lend themselves to abstract board games
Although I have seen some excellent convention games on the web
