We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
I remember that build Tony. A great job - and interesting life of the Mogami. Light cruiser converted to heavy cruiser. Beat up at midway and converted to an aircraft cruiser.

The Light Cruiser to Heavy Cruiser conversion was the lesser change. The main battery was swapped out from triple 6” gun turrets for twin mount 8” gun turrets. This class was very large for cruisers, being longer in length than any of the Pearl Harbor battleships. US scouts frequently mis identified them as battleships early in the war.
Beautiful work Tony!
