IJN Mikasa, 1/200 Scale, Pontos & MK1 Design Detail Sets, Part 5 Hull mounting and 6" Guns

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 video I make a temporary baseboard to mount the hull to so I can add the PE hull details without fear of damage. I also painted the lower hull and the lower 6” guns were also made using the replacement Pontos turned brass barrels Finally the installation of the lower gun deck was done.
