Hi I am a Japanese modeler who loves mainly scale models related to Navy in WWII or before.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Today I would like to upload the IJN destroyer Yukikaze. This is my first 1/350 trial. I used the Tamiya kit as a base and Infini model detail up parts. IJN Yukikaze is famous as a ship that survived the fierce battles of the Pacific War, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Let me post a work of Japanese ship. Her name is Ikazuchi, which means simply "thunder" in a very traditional Japanese way. She was an IJN destroyer, the 23rd of the Fubuki class destroyers. The kit was provided by Yamashita [...]
For the second post, I chose SMS Emden, another Flyhawk one. Although this ship was described as a light cruiser, the length of this ship was almost equivalent to that of standard destroyers in WWII. Thus, the actual model is much smaller [...]
This is HMS Jupiter, a J class destroyer, which was pictured the status in 1940. You can see it at Wikipedia. It was based on Flyhawk 1/700 and a bit modified by using generic PEs and self built masts. This is my first post. I hope it has [...]
