From AdamC Tora Tora Tora World Theater (26 points).

My offering today is some Japanese warships including two of the Aircraft Carriers that Raided Pearl Harbor.  These are GHQ models I was gifted by a friend. 

The First is the Akagi (Red Castle) which was laid down as Battlecruiser but was converted to an Aircraft Carrier.  

Akagi played a key roll in development of the Japanese fleet air arm. Yamamoto served as her Captain and felt a strong connection to her.

Akagi was the flagship of Kido Butai throughout the war until it was destroyed at Midway. Yamamoto attempted to have her rescued but she was scuttled in the end.

The second is the Hyru a pure aircraft carrier and a very compact one carrying only one fewer active aircraft in much smaller target. 

Hyru(Flying Dragon) had the same combat history as Akagi.

I want to comment on the size of the air groups the Akagi carried 66 air craft and Hyru carried 65.  Akagi carried 25 spare air while Hyru carried 9 spare aircraft (I assume these where air craft carried in boxes to be assembled if necessary.)

Next up is the Kongo one of four British built Battle cruiser sold to the Japanese.  Editor's note Kongo was built in the UK, but her three sisters were built to the same design in Japan.

She supported the invasion of British Malaysia then escorted the carriers at the battle of Midway and then took part in the Bombardment of Guadalcanal.

In 1944 Kongo ran into the Lionfish and was sunk. 

Points if I am recalling the points for 1/2400 scale ships I believe each of these is 2 points and the studio (editor's note it's World Theatre, I had to scroll all the way up to find it) should give me 20 so 26 points all together I believe. 

Wow very nice work on these Japanese ships Adam!  I am familiar with the GHQ 1/2400 scale ships and they can be a challenge.  Lots of fiddly bits on assembly and then tons of details to catch you and your paintbrushes up.  The flight decks on your carriers look really good, are they decals?  I am also impressed with the clean demarcations between the deck and superstructure on Kongo.

Yes it is 2 points for a 1/2400 scale ship be she torpedo boat or mighty battlewagon.
