Thank you gentlemen! Sorry about the late reply Jim. I just saw this. For photo-etch tips, I always build and paint the plastic assembly as much as possible and add the painted photo-etch after to minimize glue build-up showing with paint. Get a hold and fold. Also, I use automotive masking tape to hold delicate assemblies together and remove it using CA kicker gently painted on the tape. The tape falls off with no residue. Feel free to PM me with any questions as you progress.

This was a beautiful executed model from the start Joe. I know it took you a little over 2 years to complete it but it was time well spent!




Jose

I am finally done!!!!! Thanks to all of you for your interest and encouragement. It has been a fun but longer than expected build, but I would recommend the kit to anyone.

Joe's Yahagi is the cover and feature story of this month's Fine Scale Modeler magazine. Nicely done, Joe.

Neat! I'll have to go to my LHS and pick up a copy!
