Hi it's my pleasure to bring my newest model, IJN KONGO, Fujimi 1/350 with upgrade sets of Pontos.
I must say this set made by Pontos is excellect, but still I add much 3D printed parts to give it more details.
In China you can easily buy many kinds of 3D printed parts with different factories. Telescopes, boats, flights, guns, observations and SMALL sailors.
Ok now hope enjoy it.

Fantastic work! Very neat and tidy and not over weathered at all. I thought this was the Haruna at first, because of that forward protruding platform up the top of the pagoda, but seems the Kongo had it too, after 1944.
I am about to start on my own Fujimi Haruna and during my research, found out that the Kongo class was actually designed by Vickers of the UK and not in Japan. I wasn't expecting that at all.

Yes, so it looked like a HMS warship at first and then became more and more Japanese style. :big_grin:

You did some great work on all those aerials! And having the aircraft in motion on the crane really adds to the build :cool_2:
