Dave or anyone else, do you have anymore shots of that large scale JMSDF destroyer escort? I've always loved those little Cold War-era escorts and that model looks insanely detailed. Man, talk about badass battleship whiffs! The idea light bulbs are certainly going off :cool_1: I have some stuff to send you along those lines Dave check your PMs later.
Drawing Board:
1/700 Whiff USS Leyte and escorts 1984
1/700 Whiff USN Modernized CAs 1984
1/700 Whiff ASW Showdown - FFs vs SSGN 1984

Slipway:
1/700 Whiff USN ASW Hunter Killer Group Dio 1984

I`ll check to see if I have a few more pics - regarding DD-116, I have a pic of her in heavy seas with water spraying over her bridge in a heavy sea whilst we were monitoring the Soviet Navy`s Novorosysk
battlegroup operations in NORPAC during the mid-1980s. I`ll scan and post. :cool_2:

Uploaded. These pics are in an old photo album and cannot be removed from the adhesive page without damage, so I scanned in the pages. DD-113 is having a rough ride (Yamagumo) DD-116 is in the other pic.

Sorry for the poor image quality.

Time to post more pics of the kits. This event did not appear to be competition so much as a venue for those who enjoy modelwarships to get together and display and admire kits.

This is a scratch built IJN Yahagi
