Gordon Williamson Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddywhack Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 great model! did that extra AA help it in the end? did she survive the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
