Takom’s 1/72 scale Akagi flightdeck represents the Japanese carrier as it appeared on the morning of December 7, 1941, as the first wave of fighters was being readied to attack Pearl Harbor. To reinforce that impression, Charles added a pair of Tamiya 1/72 scale A6M2b Zeros on deck. His only other addition to the kit was using fine thread for rigging.
