IJN Mikasa 1/200 Scale, Pontos & MK1 Design Detail Sets, Part 46 Anchors, chains and bow completion
This is a build of the 2016 Merit International release of the IJN Mikasa-1905 in 1/200 (Kit # 62004). Detail sets used are the Pontos Models Detail Set 23008F1, which is supplemented with the MK1 Design Deluxe Detail Set MD-20017. This is my 1st plastic ship so a lot of the techniques shown are being done for the first time.
In this part I install the anchors with their chains, the bow Imperial Chrysanthemum and the bow railings more or less completing the bow area.
The previous install of the bow flag staff had it positioned to far forward which interfered with the installation of the railings. I cut the centre stanchion off the front railing making two individual railings and manged to rejoin the rails behind the mast.
