The Ship Model Forum

Triumph models has released a 1/350 IJN Mutsuki DD. It seems to be a resin hull and plastic 3d parts with added PE. Theprice seems right.

So should this be in the resin New items or the 3d printed new items?

Three more 1/700 releases from Fairy Kikaku:

1) Dutch turret ram vessel "Buffel" (built 1868, NATO code A884) as hulk:

2) Argentine coast defence ship ARA "Independencia" 1893-1948:

3) IJA transport ship "Amuru Maru" 1932 (aka Amur Maru, later Mansei Maru):

Regarding this kit from my last post - I have since received the model and it is definitely [b]NOT the "Shinsei Maru #5"[/b] (former WW1 USSB EFC Laker type built in 1917). The vessel in the kit is too big and too modern, it looks like a ~3.000t freighter from the late 1930s or early '40s - it could be "Shinsei Maru #18". Any thoughts on that?

I got the kit in full hull in my hands. the lower hull has quite the attachment point... A lot of work to remove. Probably not an issue on the WL model. I measured it - and the ship checks out to correct measurements (it looks narrower but if you factor in the small increase in width over the deck on the hull itself, the beam is correct). This is a relief.

The stern is ever so slightly bends to the side which is annoying but probably in hot water can be corrected. I dont think it is a fix for a novice but with work can be sorted out. I think this is an issue you have to check yourself.

[b]The downside are the hull panels, I really wish they stop. All of them 1/700 makers please stop making hull plates. This is so out of scale, and usuall can be done with paint layer build up or even just some pencil marks. It means I have to remove these which will be a hassle. So please, STOP HULL PANELS! [/b]

The kit otherwise is cool and I cant wait to build it as I have both - 1/700 Haruna battlecruiser and Derrflinger. Should be a cool trio![/quote]

I use paper, Tissue Paper (the kind used as Wrapping paper, that is polished, and not like Kleenex), which is almost perfectly in scale.

And yes… You can just mask-off the hull lines for Hull-Plating to get the same effect.

I have thought that PE could be used for Hull Plating in 1/700 IFF you make an inset part of the hull in which the panels would be glued, recessed to give the accurate line of Straking.

Pit-Road/Flyhawk did OK with their Kagerō, with the hull plating, but the more recent IJN Yūbari went overboard with it.

But some is just outlandish.

It is with the waterline as well. Right along the centre line from stem to stern. Will be a chore to remove too. Then of course there's the slight banana effect. And oh yes, the hull plating....looks almost as bad as on the photos of the Ostrich Glorious.

So...cast resin hull, 3D printed superstructure & small fittings, 2 PE frets and brass rods. Still a really nice kit for the price...for me anyway.

[quote="mikasa"][quote="pascalemod"]Triumph model now has Prince Royal, Lion class also out as full hull in two configurations and in FH or WL versions. Price again seems pretty decent on ecomm platforms.[/quote]

These are very tempting. Thanks for calling to our attention.[/quote]

My kit had small issues. So YMMW - the price is very good, so assume you may need to watch for any issues. I did measure Lion, looks correct. Im unsure if stern is a little off, the plating is over exaggerated on the hull, but the rest looks pretty sweet. Lets see how it will build out.

...which as MAC ships never operated under the prefix 'HMS'.
