A bit more progress after a lull; vent cowls near torpedo tubes in place. These were doubtlessly removed prior to lauching torpedoes. After a little more detail on the focsle and railing, she`ll join the fleet.

Pretty little ship (Yarrow built)! I have HMS Havock in progress from the same builder, a few years earlier. After building the prototypes of Torpedo Boats Destroyer (together with Thornicroft), the "26 knotters" and a trio of "27 knotters", the Firm declined the prices offered by the Admiralty and only produced TBDs for foreign countries untill the River Class of 1901/1902 program.
Hope for more pics soon!

1904 IJN Akatsuki 1/700
After a long period of model inactivity, I finally got started on another project. This from the garage manufacturer 104工作部 (Kousakubu). The kit comes with most parts but I decided to substitute the guns and torpedo tubes with the Seals IJN spares kit; the vent cowls are from BMK, but I will replace them with Seals models as well. The bridge and mast (not yet complete) are scratch built as those parts are not included and so identified in the crudely drawn instructions.
