Unfortunately, cannons have the same amount of wiring. But luckily for me, I have one cannot less to do than you. In my version (1945) there were only two cannons.

Thanks for kind words. I know this model is all about wires , but it is ok it gives me chance to practice working with tiny wires

Lex,

I'm terrified looking at the detail! - Think this model must in the super-difficult range?!

You give a great explanation of HOW things actually went, or didn't - just as brilliant as the model!

Regards,
Alan

Hello folks little update to my build...Second torpedo launcher done...So far I say everything fits so good ,no problems with parts...really pleasure to work with this kit ...

[Lex]

I realised you coloured everything, and meant making every detail in relief. That is a lot of added effort, keep it up!

Yes with this model I am practicing with my airbrush ...I just found your build of Fuyuzuki what an amazing build. Maybe you could share your secret for cutting so precisely you parts for crates and radars ....or you use extra PE parts or laser cut ones ???If yes where are you getting them from ?

[Lex]

Ha, yes, sorry to say that I don't do it myself, and can't cut as smoothly. I draw my own laser parts and have them cut elsewhere. Laser is cheap compared to PE and is very convenient for small runs - custom PE only gets cheap with large production runs. My skill with metalwork is very bad and don't use metal unless absolutely needed

Do you have friend that has laser or there are companies that can do that ?

thank you PAPER FAN

Little update to my build. The main structure with two chimneys now finished. I am trying to make thie model as 3D as possible ,so I am adding hinges,locks,handels etc... I wish the assmbly drawings were a bit more detailed sometimes I must guess what part goes where ,but it is still no bad...

You're off to a fantastic start on this one Tom, you're really making me want to build a ship but I have so many unfinished projects on the go I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. Looking forward to seeing more of this one as it progresses.
