My 1/700 scale IJN Shokaku (Sea Way/Fujimi) with Gold Medal railings.  I had
the hardest time finding the flight deck paint scheme, as not many images of
this Pearl Harbor strike force carrier still exist.  The ocean was completed
with acrylic gel with various shades of blue added in.

Ironically, the carrier was sunk by the USS Cavalla (SS-244) in 1944, and
that submarine now a memorial about 25 miles from where I live.  Here's
there website (http://www.cavalla.org/).  I'm considering donating this
carrier model to them.
