Nicely done Jim. Some natural light pix would be nice. The bow shot is great.

Yes, I join the others in a round of congratulations on a fine project. I have learned quite a bit from following this one. I am really looking forward to watching you apply your techniques to Zuikaku.

A most excellent finish to your Isuzu, it was great fun to watch it from beginning to end. Looking forward to your next foray into the IJN Fleet.

Spectacular build Jim. Congrats on the great job.

That will be a shelf model that you will enjoy for years to come.

Great work!

Thanks everyone for the compliments and the support through this build! I thoroughly enjoy posting these build threads, I learn so much by doing it.

I was able to get some outdoor shots today (amazing how much better the camera focuses in sunlight) and they bigger than the e-mail size I was taking before. Hopefully they come through to the site or I'll have to resize them

I'm not satisfied with the thread railings. I may have to break down and use photo etch or laser cut, but not without a fight! I'm thinking I'll try some of the fly tying thread I bought after I started doing the railings or try wire. The wire actually looks pretty decent on the launches.

Oh well, off to the next ones :D

It's an outstanding model, Jim. This build thread is a definite keeper. You have broken a lot of new ground and shown just how good one of these models can look with patience, care -- and a lot of skill and talent.

Now I know exactly what Isuzu looked like as an anti-aircraft cruiser and have learned a lot about Japanese warship construction.

Looking forward to seeing Zuikaku getting under way.

Don
