Hey-
This is awesome, looks great! Really clean, well researched work!

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I picked up a Kagero and Infiniti detail set while at Nationals, and I'm just getting started. Thanks for leading the way!

Regards,
Phil

Hi, in the past days I painted the underwater hull with red color (Gunze Mr Color 29), masked it and then added some other details to the hull, like deck drain spouts in closed position and fixed the three vertical supports for the torpedo reload system. Cheers
