The Ship Model Forum

Hey guys,

just a quick update � among some more destroyers, minelayers and minesweepers I uploaded three oilers to my blog: the Shiriya (Pit-Road), Kokuyo Maru (Fujimi), and Ariake Maru (scratch).

Are you looking for its front half? It should be the first entry at the top...

The anchorage looks great, Hen. I can't seem to find Amatsukaze, though.

Hello Haijun watcher,
Thank you - there's much more to come ;-)

I am no registered member there, but I visit from time to time.

Herr Hen,

Guten tag!

Thanks for sharing your blog!

I was wondering, do you participate in Tully's combined fleet.com forum or j-aircraft's forum?

Hello fellow modelers!

I�d like to introduce to you my personal blog about the Imperial Japanese Navy.

I am in the midst of building the Japanese fleet of WW2 in 1/700. I have collected almost all warship classes from small MTBs and river gunboats up to CVs, and a lot of auxiliaries and merchants to accompany them. It`s an ambitious project but I really enjoy it - hunting down rare kits and spanning a network of specialists and enthusiasts around the world is a wonderful pastime. I�d like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has contributed to my collection so far.

After several months of absence due to moving to a new home, I have recently uploaded the BB [b]Ise [/b]in her summer 1945 camouflage, DD [b]Sutsuzuki[/b], the old minelayer [b]Ashizaki [/b]and the DD [b]Amatsukaze [/b]as she appeared in early 1945 with her bow blown off.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or kits that are missing in my collection, feel free to drop me a line!
