The entire mast is superb, Jim, but the searchlight is incredible.

Hi Jim,
I was cruising the Paper Model Stores' webpages and discovered that he is showing the answer Models Isuzu kit at $11.46. Oh yeah, when the eagle screams again, I can see one of them coming my way. :D Don't think I will quite come up to the level of your build here, but I am sure I will have a blast and use all the information that you have provided here to help me whittle one out. Just out of curiousity, how long is this bad boy? Jay Massey treadhead1952 Las Vegas, NV |

Thanks for the comments on the photos, I really enjoy taking them. One of these years I want to try photo-shopping some, but I'm not too hot at photo shop yet.
I bought the kit from papermodelstore with my first order almost exactly a year ago - I just checked! It looks like I paid $11.45, so it must have been on sale back then too. It's actually a pretty big ship - 32 inches long. By far the biggest paper model I've made yet. I see he has Halinski's Fuso in now - finally. And the Wespe!!! I bought Fuso a while back from model-hobby and it's an incredible kit. Whose do I build? Halinski's or Angraf's? Or both? One can never have too many Fuso's around the house...

Thanks Jim,
I have always liked the 5500 Ton cruisers the Japanese produced prior to WWII and the Isuzu as part of the Nagara Class falls right in there. Now if I could find a Kuma and a Sendai class I can have a blast building up a bunch of variations on the theme. Always wanted to build a Kitakami as she was in '41 and '42 with her 10 quadruple mount torpedo launchers lined up 5 at a side. And with the early experiments in ship board aircraft use these would be simple conversions to a basic model. Jay Massey treadhead1952 Las Vegas, NV |

Superb work Jim. Those masts look like the highly detailed work of plastic or resin. And as always, excellent photography.
You're stretching your skills to the next level my friend. I'm envious.

I have to agree. I'm glad that I set this one aside since you are doing such a wonderful job with it. It's sort of a vicarious build for me that way.

Answer produced the Kitakami in the "torpedo cruiser" version and Jim indicated earlier in this thread that he has the kit, so perhaps we may see one take shape here some day. What a pair that would be!

Thanks Guys,
Now that I know there is one out there, I can see I am going to have to chase one down. And its' even in the maker's line that I like, so far. I am looking forward to doing some kit bashing with a paper model, should be even more interesting than a styrene kit, not to mention easier. Jay Massey treadhead1952 Las Vegas, NV |

Try GPM or Moduni, one will have it. Thats a lot of torpedo tubes to roll
