Yahagi by Javlin - FINISHED - Hasegawa - 1/350 - PLASTIC - IJN Light Cruiser


Recommended Posts

I started the build last night on 8/4/19 the hull went together in a snap and with many many internal supports.The deck required that many holes from the underside be drilled out for this particular ship I would imagine that rest of the holes were for others of the Agano class of light cruisers.I have a PE from Eduard for the Agano class for the railings plus what Hase supplied mainly for the flight deck area.

 

Pictures :profile,supports hull,assembled hull and size Yahagi 19.5" and Yukikaze 11.5"

Awesome!  I love the lines in this ship, can’t wait to see where you go with it!

 

I bought a FSM back issue that had an article on a Yahagi build.  Was beautiful- took the guy 800+ hours if I remember correctly.  Not exactly sure why.

The bridge PE is just about to come to a close tomorrow another rail and a couple of doors(open) to be added.I will then work my way up the SS to the range finder which I should get that handled tomorrow easy if I don't hit the range.Some Pics...........

 

PS: added some ladders from Infini and the doors are from them also I will add tomorrow.

I got to the range finder.I started on the 6" guns and I found it handy to cut the barrel short(leave some) and start the the center with #11 and go to the drill bit.This allows for a restart if you drift which I did on one and I was able to do a restart and correct.Pics..... ;) Kevin

 

and yes I fix that guns barrels before the glue set ;)

Nice Kevin.  Did the kit come with the brass barrels or are they aftermarket?

I continue to move forward on this one I try to put in some work  everyday(like cdrusn89)  1-3hrs for short days and 5-8 on my days off if life permits tonight two hrs.I painted the turrets,funnel,searchlight station and all the small bits on the foredeck.I have a question though the hose reels for fire control what color is the hoses?I seen on one build they were red and it be some color to the build but would like accuracy in this case.Thks Kevin ;)

I would say that I starting to approach the 50% mark on this one nothing on the deck is glued yet except small pieces.I opted to go for the plastic hanger since I folded the brass hanger deck one time opened it back went to go glue it shut and it broke!after one fold?I tried to align the folded pieces but it was off after the glue dried.I said nope and to boot the anti-skid pattern on the brass looked out of scale of what of been a persons foot the plastic is much more subtle.I am going to incorporate some other pieces hopefully if all goes well from the brass hanger kit.She's looking the part............;) Kevin

Mike like to give you a definitive answer but it's a home brew I had a little left of Matt70 Humbrol and started adding a Red Humbrol till I got to the point I was satisfied.The color that Hase recommends is a Tamy color a little more brown than mine and in the right lighting that brown does peek a little more in my mixture.Well I got the catapult built out of the PE and good thing they gave me two carts for I destroyed one so it goes :Whew:Kevin

The works of the last couple of days the white marks on the deck are were I filled with sprue to put after market PE ladders instead.The back side of the plane platform you can just see a brass ladder poking it's way through. ;) Kevin536236394_Yahagi002.thumb.JPG.62c5e2db1ea72483977e753ec3c77a8a.JPG

Very nice!  With all those holes in the deck, looks like you have a lot of fun details to add.  The crane and platform are very cool items of interest on this ship.

 

What are those raised lines on the hull sides for?

It's a very small update on the build (lots of work) I have been working on the P/E of the planes and the launches time comsuming but believe it will be beneficial in the long run little things.The P/E company supplied templates so as to get the launches set up correctly in there cradles and planes came with the cables for floats and props which I twisted in the appropriate direction for some pitch.Thks for all the likes fellas and interest! :imNotWorthy: Kevin

Thanks Yves!I am liking her to it's going to be a clean build but she sure looks like a lady ready for the show.I got all the AA's on the rear deck,painted the hose reels the same color as the hull and have started clearing the wood base.The time I spent on the other side of the shop doing the base I planed down some more 5/4 red oak to 1" getting ready to build the back of a new modeling cabinet.Pics tomorrow night I hope. ;) Kevin

Looking great!  Those cranes really make for an interesting focal point on the model.

 

Did the Yahagi have bands on the smokestacks (for lack of a better word, I forget what they are called)?  The Shimakaze did and I’m thinking about how to best add them, especially given that there are 2-3 narrow bands to include.  Hard to figure out how to weather, etc. when I also have PE to add to them.

Sorry for the late reply Mike and I have read some of the ships carried them for specific operations but I do not have any other info than what was supplied and no mention of anything special on the stacks or have I seen it in other builds.The build continues to move forward though a little slower due to  pain in the upper back I hope to get some facet injections next week if the insurance gives it a go left work one day pain was beyond anything I have had in 18 months or so.So,I have just a little more railing to do on the aft deck area,position some a/c part parts around the hanger deck and a few more men here and there.Pics........

Thks Phil I keep pressing on life is to short and to many kits between my planes and ships( 10-15) I have maybe 200/300 unbuilt.I know a retired Colonel in Mexico from another forum an I have sent some kits free 1/72 and 1/48 planes I'll never get to.He does more with them in group builds than I ever would of. ;) Kevin
