Talk about leaving one feeling totally inadequate.
For a second, I thought this was a ship by a guy I see on eBay every now and then:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-700-built-IJN ... 2ee569aa73
When I first saw the image of his ship, I thought it was a photo of the real thing.
Which is exactly how I feel when looking at this ship (The Kirishima in this thread): Like I am looking at the real thing.
It leaves one feeling very insecure and, ironically (considering the size of the model), insignificant.
I have this same ship I will be building over the next few months (although just with either the Flyhawk, or Gold Medal PE set for it - and the Hiei with her).... And now I feel like anything I do will never be good enough.
I am doing all of the ships for the major surface actions in the Solomons (a few hundred ships total). I have most of the American Ships (fewer than the Japanese), but I still have a LOT of Japanese Destroyers to go.
I am left with the feeling that unless I do PE on all of them, it will not be good enough, after seeing this Kirishima.
