Hi Mike
Thanks for letting me know. I can imagine that there is more work than one would believe at first sight. So ok, I won't hold my breath.
If you remember, I had planned to build a couple of ships of convoy Tei No. 2 of 20.09.1943, in 1/350 scale.
I already own the Heian Maru (just started it) and the Akitsushima (Hasegawa's resin/plastic/photoetch limited edition of a couple of years ago).
The destroyers involved were:
- Hibiki (Fubuki Type III)
- Makinami (Yugumo class)
- Yamagumo (Asashio class)
That's why the Fubuki III has interested me. Well, since I build as slowly as a glacier moves (almost), I will have enough time to wait.
There were also two more "Marus", the Kiyosumi Maru and Gokoku Maru. Since the Gokoku Maru was a sister ship of Hokoku Maru and Aikoku Maru, there would even be a small chance that Pit Road, who made this class in 1/700, would decide to upscale it.
In the meantime, maybe some company will release one of the destroyer classes missing for my project...
Thanks again and cheers,
Peter
