Hi I am a Japanese modeler who loves mainly scale models related to Navy in WWII or before.

IJN Destroyer Shiranui "不知火" 1940, Pit Road 1/700

Today I am uploading a 1/700 model of an IJN destroyer Shiranui, the second ship of the Kagero Class. This is based on a kit of the Kagero (pre-war), which is a Pit-Road product and includes etchings. IJN Shiranui has an intense war [...]

Hawker Hurricane Ib(Sea Hurricane) in 1942, Arma Hobby 1/72

I have just completed a Sea Hurricane and let me post it. This is Arma Hobby's 1/72 Hurricane Ib, portraying one of the aircraft on board the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious during Operation Pedestal, a desperate attempt to transport [...]

IJN Battleship Nagato 長門 in 1927, Aoshima 1/700

Hello everyone. Today I'm posting about the battleship Nagato of the Imperial Japanese Navy as it was in 1927. It's been a while since I've worked on an Aoshima kit. At this time, Nagato had an elegant form without the imposing appearance [...]

Wespe in Italian front 1944, Tamiya 1/35

This time I would like to upload an AFV work, Wespe in the Italian front. This is the first serious challenge in AFV modelling apart from many ones in my childhood. Because I saw many advancements in AFV modeling technics such as chipping [...]

SBD3 Dauntless 1942, Flyhawk 1/72

Let me post a Flyhawk Dauntless. I am a Flyhawk devotee by nature, and they have brought us a kit that lives up to our expectations in aircraft modelling. I was amazed to learn that this was their first model aeroplane kit. The aircraft I [...]

HMS Prince of Wales 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

This is one of my favourite ships, but I have hesitated to post it because, after all, I had built it a bit long time ago. To be honest, it was my first Flyhawk kit and my first attempt at rigging. Again, as before, I cheated with the [...]

HMS Belfast 1943, Trumpeter 1/700

It's been a while since I posted. This time it's HMS Belfast. This is a ship that reminds me of when I worked in London about 25 years ago. My office faced the Thames, and seeing her was my daily life. She was actually there wearing this [...]

RAF DH.82 Tiger Moth, Airfix 1/48

This is my first post for an airplane. I truly love this tiny biplane for flight practice. Although my experience in aircraft modelling is very limited, this Airfix kit does not have any serious problem to assemble including rigging. As a [...]

IJN Battleship Mikasa 三笠 1905, Hasegawa 1/700

Let me post another IJN ship, but it is much older than previous one. This is IJN battleship Mikasa, the flagship of Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905). She was designed and built by Vickers shipyard in the UK; therefore, it was technically a [...]
