The rigging really sets the model off, well done.

Both came out fantastic!  I hope mine comes out half as nice.

 

On your Yukikaze, did you add anchor chains to the bow?  Or were the chains molded into the deck piece?  I'm wondering what to do with the Shimakaze, where Hasegawa decided to mold them into the deck.  The chains are pretty crisp, and I can probably pick them out with paint, but it seems to me that it would look more realistic with better depth if I installed my own chains.

Mike the chains came in the kit and they came with the Yahagi both Hase kits might be part of the difference.The way the instructions said lay out those chains made absolutely no sense to me over the top of each other Kevin

Somewhere--can't remember where--there's a build of Eugen as IX-9 (?) "USS Eugen" in her fitment for the Swordfish testing at Bikini.

 

Would be a fascinating paint scheme.  However, some of the fiddly bits would be complicated as she was fitted out with some odd weapons for the test--like a flakvierling and some Army howitzers, if memory serves.  Which might be hard to source in 1/350.

Cap I think this is the late war configuration about 44/45 kinda like it have a pic of her in the Panama Canal would suspect going to that final resting place.

I though I had caught up with your build here.......guess I was wrong!    she came out look'in very good mate!  your weathering techniques are better than mine......of course,  anyone's would be better than mine.......  but none the less,  you've done an admirable job on her.   you amassing quite a fleet there.........look'in forward in seeing your next one

Hey. I was reading that the Mogami is next on your list,  mine as well. What are you using as reference material?  Thanks.
