Here's my out-of-the-box build of the Japanese escort carrier Unyo, from the Aoshima kit.

Thanks to Dan K for the scan of the Gakken magazine, which I used to recreate the dazzle camouflage on her deck from around 1944 before she was sunk. A printout of that scan is pictured beside the build.

Also, since the second-hand Unyo kit I bought didn't come with instructions and none were available from the 1999.co.jp website, I improvised using the instructions from a Chuyo kit, since I assumed there were only minor differences in the AA fits of the 3 sisters in the class.

For those interested in the various color codes and brands I used, you can send me a PM/private message to my inbox.

Boy, I haven't built one of these in a long time. Good to see.
