Post subject:  Japan - Ryujo Class Aircraft Carrier

my third attempt at drawing a real life ship, and something a bit more complex than the type 1934A destroyers that I've currently got on long-term project list.

the aircraft carrier Ryujo was a Japanese light aircraft carrier built in the early 1930s, she was small and lightly built to exploit a loophole in the Washington naval Treaty, however because of her light construction she proved to be top heavy and very unstable in moderate sea conditions.

Ryujo:
as of 1933

1936 - TBA

What a nice surprise for us IJN buffs! She looks great, and can't wait to see the other versions!

Looking very good indeed, can't wait to see the other later iterations of this ship.

Looks very nice for a third attempt, though I agree with Colombamike, airwings! :D

Lovely drawing and yes add the air-wing for each drawing, and a top view would be very much appreciated.
