Javlin Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share #62 Posted August 3, 2019 13 hours ago, Landlubber Mike said: 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 popeye the sailor, Canute and Landlubber Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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.
