Whew....... I am very happy that finally the 10 25mm triple AA mounts are done for the Yahagi. I have been folding these tiny things for two weeks ... hehehe the first few don't look as nice as the last ones, but this is a "learning and practice" build.
Now hopefuly she will be finished for this months IPMS San Diego meeting.
........... Back to the bench, I have 18 single 25mm AA to fold!!!

Looking good DanCinSD. IJN triple 25's are a real hctib to do, especially in 1/700.

I’ve never tackled those and to tell the truth I don’t intend to good job on those tough

I thought triple 25mm AA was "fun" to fold, until I started to do the PE type 13 radar!! Oh my is that thing small!!
.....................But progress is continuing!!

Looking good - don't know how you guys do PE in 1/700th...

1/700 models make me shreak with confusion!

The smileys tell it's own story on what I'd do if I build a 1/700 ship:

(Just a joke!!)

Looks great !!!

Ahhhh, Yahghi is finished!! I was going to build her as in Operation TenGo (1945) using the Lacroix and Wells book on IJN Cruisers...... but after learning from Dan Kaplan that the referance I had was wrong..... I had some rethinking to do!!

Since I wasn't able at the time to get the corrections I needed thru scratchbuilding and some Joe World PE. I thought I would use this build to practice my skills in PE. And build another at a later date!!

Here she is 99% finished. Yahghi is mounted on a temp base for these pictures, I will put her and a DD in a case in water a little later.
I did learn a lot in this build!!
Hope she doesn't hurt your eyes viewing!!

HIJMS Yahghi in early 1944 (Dan would that time frame work??)

She looks great and you are good on early 1944 fit. Congrads!

Now, build her again!

I suppose technically speaking, or should I say writing (posting?) 矢矧 or やはぎor ヤハギ would be a correct spelling.
