Gordon Williamson Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Latest addition to the "fleet". Heavy anti-aircraft cruiser Maya in 1/350
Gordon Williamson Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 She started life a standard member of the Takao class but subsequently had her third forward turret removed and replaced by beefed up anti-aircraft armament.
Gordon Williamson Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Bridge area. Numerous platforms on the forward part of the bridge and deck each side with anti-aircraft guns
Gordon Williamson Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Midships. Heavy A.A. on deck and lighter A.A. on platforms around the funnels.
Gordon Williamson Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Looking aft. Maya carried two "Jake" floatplanes. (these are still not completed, and need markings - something strangely NOT supplied with the kit)

paddywhack Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 great model! did that extra AA help it in the end? did she survive the war?
Gordon Williamson Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 No, all the extra AA armament didn't help much in the end - she was sunk by four torpedoes from a US Submarine in October 1944.
