Dear Fellow Modellers

This Hasegawa kit dates from the early days where port holes on hulls were seen as superfluous and deck houses were completely plain. So enter the Gakken Mechanism of Japanese destroyers book, bucket loads of PE and resin! Suppliers included Fine molds nanodread, Rainbow, Toms, GMM, Flyhawk Pit Road and Veteran. This is the result after many hours work.

Hope you like it?

Andrew,

Like it? That's some excellent work. Destroyers from the '20s & '30s are some of my favorites and your exceptional transformation of this old kit is just remarkable.

Great job,

Mac

Damn nice, with great detailing. Those 4.7cm mounts look outstanding, and to scale, which is rare for these kits. What did you use?
