29 October 2012 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 65 - Part C as the third page this month. In this Part "Toom" presents three new warships. Starting from IJN I-53 Submarine with Kaitens 1:72 from Lindberg, followed by USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 from Trumpeter, then topping it off with IJN Aircraft Carrier AKAGI 1:350 w/ PE Upgrade Sets A,B,C and SuperDetail Set from Hasegawa. The first two kits had been finished and their pictures taken over a year ago. The last one has just been finished today, and I just can't wait to show them all. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing.
I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks, compliments and suggestions that we received concerning Page 65 - Part B. They are very encouraging, and they inspire us to keep on producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my

301 - 348 : Lindberg's IJN I-53 Submarine with Kaitens 1:72 - by "Toom":
This is my most expensive model kit ever!. Due to the fit problem of PE superstructure, "Toom" had to disassemble the superstructure and assemble it once again. Starting in January 2011, it took "Toom" a year and 10 months to finish (only "Matsu" 1:350 w/ Upgrade set A,B,C by "Niphon" took longer - over two years).
