IJN Destroyer IKAZUCHI 1942 (Yamashita Hobby, 1/700)
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 [...]
SMS Emden 1914, Flyhawk 1/700
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 [...]
HMS Jupiter 1940
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 [...]
HMS Hood - May 1941
After over 30 years, I finally have a good 1/700 HMS Hood. The ship has always been one of my favorites, and I've held a spot at the top of the display case for her for a long time.

2022 Build Review: When Double Builds Go Bad
2021 was such a good year. I finished 13 models – eight 1/72 aircraft, a 1/72 88mm gun, and four 1/700 Essex-class carriers, one a major kitbash.
2022, by comparison saw no models finished. Not one. Instead I started on one 1/700 [...]
