First up, Apologies for the quality of some of the pictures, and secondly, if anyone can tell me what this is called, I'd be grateful...its all Japanese on the Box Art.

I opened the bow up and added vanes. It was only about 5mm deep before the mod.

I opened up the bow ventral intake and put a sort of 'scoop' shape inside. This was completely sealed before I opened it.

I opened the rear ventral area as well and put more vanes in. This was moulded completely closed as well.

I opened up the two ports on either side of the hull ( not sure if theyre some kind of engine, as two of them point forward, or if theyre weaponry ) and added clear red sprue offcuts. They actually look really good, different to whats shown up in the photos.

Finally, I opened up the four intakes on each side of the hull. I couldnt get them any tidier than what you can see here, as I have Homer Simpsonitus of the fingers.. It shows in the pics too.

Thanks for looking
 
I am not sure the scale but the ship is the E.D.F Battleship Borodino. I am a huge fan of Star Blazers.
 
Excellent work on that little guy.
I have that Yamato, so I know how small these are

Thanks Quaralane. They are a bit tiny.. hopefully I can get some thinner styrene and make it look better on the next ones
