IJN Parts Sheets

[BB1987]

A few parts from Fuso, already posted or upcoming.

Funnel, vents and jackstaff were removed from the pinnace and stowed on deck when the boat was carried on Fuso.

(Main guns will come ina simplified sheet at a later date as the post-1933 fits are yet to be drawn).

Those steam pinnaces are absolutely fantastic with that amazing attention to detail! BRAVO!

[Novice]

Really amazing details, and good work. Expecting more

[eswube]

Fantastic work!

It's been awhile since the last time I've updated the IJN Parts Sheet. Lately I've been trying to update both the Weapon and the Miscellaneous parts to the most accurate way I could manage to, other than rearranging the sheets in order to made them occupy less space. This is a time-consuming task, but I've at least managed to reach a partly-competed and satisfactory (at least for my own standards) Weapons Sheet:


Since the last update (now 1 year-and-a-half ago) I've added eighteen new types of guns and three more torpedo tubes, other than refining and reworking some of the gun mounts that were already there. Still, some fields are still blank, and there will be more that needs to be added before the sheet could be called complete. Anyway, at least now you guys can benefit from it and not just myself.

A similar update will come (hopefully soon) for the Miscellaneous sheet too.. here is a link to the WIP to somewhat fill the gap for anyone who might want some updated equipment.


also, I'm reposting the IJN/IJA aircraft sheet, done by Emperor_Andreas, which has been lost with the Majhost meltdown. I've added to it the new Kayaba Autogyros and the J7-Shinden recently drawn by Magus.

Very good work BB1987,

The only thing I would note is the missing 18" twin for the '13' battleships, or a placeholder for it.

Technically, I'm also missing placeholders for the twin/triple 409/45 planned for the Hiraga1930 Battleships and the massive 20inch mounts of the A-150, but I'm plan to add at least the blank once I've started to fill the other missing guns.

Regarding that plane sheet, the A7M appears to have a 3-bladed propeller, when it should be a 4-bladed prop.

You are right, it will be fixed.

Interim update:


added:

-510mm/45 Type98 twin turret of the planned A-150 (litearly, nothing more than a Yamato turret with a twin gun instead of a triple)
-460mm/45 Type5 twin turret placeholder for th N°13 class (I should be able to scan a reliable schematic from my hachi-hachi book one of those days)
-409mm/45 Type90 twin and triple turret placeholders for the Hiraga and Fujimoto BB plans of 1930 and some of the preliminar Yamato designs
-200m/50 Type3 N°1 Mod-B twin turret from the Aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga (*)
-152mm/40 Type 41 single open and shielded mounts from early Battleships and Armored cruisers.
-127mm/50 Type3 mod-D DP twin turrets from the Yugumo and Shimakaze class Destroyers.
-127mm/40 Type89-A1 Mod-3 twins hielded mounts form the Yamato class Battleship (added the two side views to complement the front view drawn earlier by Erusia_Force)
-610mm Type89 twin torpedo tube enclosed mount
-610mm unknown tipe quintuple torpedo tube fromt he Shimakaze class Destroyer.


(*) Fun fact:
Model B turrets were actually designed after the models C and D, henche why they resembled more the E-models (and more so, Model C was designed after model D too despite it entered service eariler...)
