1/1800th scale Chitose-class aircraft carrier model. Certain elements not to scale.
Updated 24 Sep 23: Replaced elevators with more accurate shape. (Image not updated)
This model is designed and tested at 1/1800th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/1800th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. I have had good results with 150% (1/1200) and 75% (1/2400). The gun barrels and mast have been enlarged.
This is part of my collection of WWII warships, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I’ll bump it up my list.
Tested with PLA at .1mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.

I think the shape of the rear elevator is different.
According to your data, it is close to an octagonal shape, but it is actually a hexagonal shape with four corners towards the stern.
As it is a noticeable part, I would be very happy if you could fix it.
Other than the above points, it is an accurate and good model.

Correcting yesterday’s review. The shape of the elevator has already been corrected, and the current data is perfectly fine. Thank you, ghekuk!
