They are truly a thing of beauty... both the ships and the drawing.

Marvelous!

Thanks guys , i'm slowly but steadily going towards completion (*)




(* at least for the real designs section, there are two never built conversion plans still to be drawn, the full carrier and a hybrid with the flight deck running forward to the funnel)

Looking good!

Also: there was one other design...truly a 'WTF' moment, (sincerest apologies if the previous words offends anyone). Let me see if I have a pic of it and I'll send it to you via PM.

Here is the finished Ise in 1944


No Hyuga for the battleship-carrier version, as once converted into hybrids the differences between the two ships where really negligible.
This thread is completed, the never-built planned full-scale conversions into carrier will come later in the never-built section, unless the mods says i can continue here; also, i will give more priority to Uss Montana while continuing working on the never-where version of Ise.

As i've done with Akizukis, all drawings can be found in the first post.

Thanks to you all, and a special thanksgiving to Heuhen, who first tired his hands on the Ises nearly one year ago before giving up for scaling issues, for all the sources he sent to me when he acknowleged my plans to draw them; i choose to include some parts of his old drawings in order to let his name appear on the finished ship, because for me he deserved to be credited for this work because of all his past efforts.
