IJN Mikasa
Pre-Dreadnought Mikasa

Status:

The Mikasa is a ship of the line of the Japanese Navy and was the flagship of Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904/1905. Named after Mount Mikasa in the city of Nara, she is now the last surviving battleship from the pre-dreadnought era. I will depict the ship in the gray colors of 1905.

I did have some initial difficulties, but I think I got the most out of both sets. And the result feels very satisfying.
