My 1:1200 Japanese WW2 Shiratsuyu destroyer design, building
And now my 1:1200 cardstock paper Japanese WW2 Shiratsuyu class destroyers to accompany my Kirishima and (when built) Hiei.
Here is the first, as a test-build, before I do 5 companions.
That little depression between the stacks for the midships torpedo tubes is a nightmare: its walls and after deck are really pushing the hand-workable scale limit with the necessary inside cut. I believe that piece should be mounted before assembling the hull, because the gap from raising the deck aft of the conning tower up weakens the deck cross-section otherwise.
