What, you couldn't start any smaller? That is impressive work. That thing is tiny. |

looks good so far... and yes, I made the same mistake about the size... but as you say, it is fun... |

Thanks Silenoz Still plugging away... Dd At the magnification limits of my camera, but here is a picture of the rigging. I used Infini Ultra Fine Lycra Rigging with Coral Frag Glue (IC-GEL) Ethyl Cyanoacrylate Gel. My thin super glue would wick up the Lycra creating problems. I just touched the end of the line with the Gel and then applied the line to the ship. It was ready to be stretch to the next point in a couple of seconds. I put the Ship Pennant for Sub Chaser (Maru (KU)) on the port side and the Interrogatory Classification Pennant on the other side (meaning not understood by itself?). Still needs a few finishing touches and a wash or two. Maybe try to hide or fix some blemishes but, will have to be more careful next build. |

253 got knocked off the table and was smashed. IJN Subchaser 51/251 was the same hull, but diesel powered. Thought I would include that place of 253. Ff by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/186314166@N04/] |

Thanks Scott. Just doing some catchup. Two of the three members of the IJN 251 Auxiliary Sub Chaser. 51 was diesel while 53 was the steam version. Neither saw combat and both survived the war as tug boats. 251 class by |
