IJN Amatsukaze 1940, 1:200 Halinski

Hi all,

This is my second Card model (HMVS Cerberus was the first).

The kit is from Halinski (Poland) and is my first from them as well. The printing and Card are of excellent quality, the same can't be said for the instructions which are in Polish and don't translate very well. That only makes it more fun .

I started this kit 5 days ago, and am at the stage of skinning the hull. So far, so good - everything has fitted beautifully.

The kit came with laser-cut frames and a few other pieces. I added extra card to the sides of the frames to give them a bit more than 0.5mm on which to butt two hull skins together.

The join between the hull and the forecastle deck looks a bit odd in the pic below, but it's 100% correct. It actually overhangs the hull for half the section.

Cheers, Danny
