Perhaps my longest project. The speed of work was influenced by both a lot of real-life circumstances and interesting nuances of the model itself. Take, for example, changing the geometry of copied/attached parts. Has anyone encountered this? In addition, I never found any drawings of Ryujo.
I present to you the beta version of the aircraft carrier Ryujo. The condition of the ship in August 1942. The model was ported from the game War Thunder and modified to IL-2 standards. Correct dimensions and shape of the hull and flight deck. Historical composition and location of anti-aircraft artillery. The flight deck, as in reality, is narrow and short. According to the recollections of contemporaries, only six aircraft were freely accommodated on the deck of Ryudze. I bet from eight to fourteen, depending on the size of the aircraft.. Not historical, but more interesting. Always take off fighters or bombers with incomplete combat load or fuel reserves first. A hull with low stability and weak armor, provide it with a serious escort or your mission will end sooner than you think.
