IJN Isuzu 1:200 - Answer

That's fascinating detail work Jim. I particularly love the depth charge racks. Those are wonderfully rendered.

Take that, plastic!

Thanks Don & Eib. I've got a small update here, these look like pumps or something similar. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is like deja vu! I love the clean ness of your build. Are you using PE with this? I don't know if you're interested in building torpedoes for those launchers but those were probably the only good part of my build. I rolled plain paper really tight and painted them. I really enjoy watching this.

Look like Donkey engines to me

Thanks Carl & Shrike. I haven't used any photo-etched parts yet... I did strengthen these two with CA before I started cutting. Made it a bit more difficult to cut, but gave a cleaner edge.

I saw your torpedoes, Carl. They looked really good, but I've already got the launchers glued in so I'll have to wait for my next build to do those. I think your funnels looked good too, and I'm going to reference your thread a lot when I start building mine. Should be soon! It's fun getting the deck all cluttered.

This is one very steady hand you have there...
I look forward to see this ship grow.

Wow. I'm not sure what that is, but that fine "cagelike" structure you did in that last set of images is really sharp. I love it.

Thanks for the update Jim. Your details just keep getting better.

I like the idea of building the torpedos. That would be a nice addition to this model.
