Very Easy to build Mike I think the build took me 4/6 weeks from start to finish that's fast for a ship.I now want you to feast your eyes upon this a company I have never heard of but provided the other part of the up-grade for the Scharnhorst.I think a destroyer 25" would be a Nice start to see if the kits are build able and to cut your teeth on. https://3d-wild.com/products/1-200-wwii-japanese-navy-shimakaze-destroyer-model-kit?pr_prod_strat=description&pr_rec_id=e0572105d&pr_rec_pid=6934498476085&pr_ref_pid=6947497115701&pr_seq=uniform

Yeah I was noticing Destroyer,Light Cruiser and Heavy Cruiser.........Then I have the Mogami in the stash with the 1/2 flight deck about 20/25 planes. A better listing for some reason Craig Norton/Google wants to block http://www.acaciahardwoods.net/

I have to drive about 90 minutes to Pontchatoula LA Acadia Lumber I usually go in March/April when the strawberry's are out.I buy a flat or two and chucking tops out the window on the drive back LA strawberrys to me are the best. https://ponchatoulachamber.com/directory/member/4178_acadian-cypress-amp-hardwoods-inc

Sapele an African Mahogany I luv to work with it and it's cheap. One thing I like EG about ships over a/c is you see it all unlike a/c you close it up.

Still hammering on this one a little at a time the planes are just about done still have like 4 or 5 boats left.The hold downs for the spare a/c part and the launches is tissue paper thinking it gives the ship some life.
-
Well Alan anytime we feel we pushed those boundaries in a positive way is an event/day worth living Sir.The build came out looking really good and me doing 3D "no way" hattip.

Tim while the build is really quite Nice I esp. like the life boats and launching craft they add a dimension of reality when done right and my attempts fail thus far.

This will be interesting to follow .......in.

Thanks fellas the decal issues I should of caught earlier just from having done so many recon crates and the "Flying Dutchman" which I think belong to the same FG same scheme.I think all in all it worked out one day I finish the 1/24 P-51.

Those aftermarket pieces do look Nice EG -
EG you've seen some of my wood work that will be the easiest part of the build.The question is does it come in the house(computer/gun display) or does it go were the Gato(4ft) resides?

I get back from HobbyTown Mobile for supplies and I have a small package on the front porch.

Thanks Mike really enjoying this one can't wait to get to the rigging makes the ship pop.I have a 1/350 flying boat(4 engine) if I can find the rest of the pieces I will put on a wire banking the ship if not order in some Zeros.

Thanks Craig I am having Fun with this one It's either 5/6 all together Roger and their will be a flier or two I have the Kagero book very nice indeed but it has to be after the refit late in the war all double A's went triple with two extra around the center spotlight.The refit also included a dozen or so single A's on the foredeck and aft along with new radar.I would of had to have the book a couple years ago when I started to make the adjustments to late now also must be a later Chikuma out there from Tamyia.
-
Just chugging along fellas built the PE catapult,incline rear deck and added some double A's.The SS is now glued and the Funnel various ladders have been added around the deck more to come.

This is probably all I will need beside more paint. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293943952087

One of my favorites even over the Bismark in the Kreigsmarine.I have seen some knock it for lack of piece count but they forget the 5/6 frets of PE that replace the plastic embedded through out the instructions.
