Japaneese Destroyer Yukikaze 1:200

[kubeksus]

Hi,


I decided to start my own build thread of Yukikaze destroyer. My model will present the ship from its latest configuration in 1945.

Today, I present some old photos of hull assembly as I have started the model back in 2012.

Hi all,


Some time has passed since my last update. I did not have time to do much but, I believe, the building process will be faster now.

I have started to build the central structure. Nothing is finished yet. Work in progress.

I like the multi media approach. The torpedo handling rails are fantastic. I always wondered how many men were lost due to tripping over those while tossing anout in the waves.

Hi,


I added few details to the middle structure and built the rear one. The major change is that I added 2, 25mm AA placements to it.

Hi,


After almost half of the year since my last post I decided to share with you my recent updates to the model.


I have made many details of the main deck like funnels, cranes, ammo boxes and more. I have changed some details as I am making a 1945 version of a model while the kit presents the model from 1941.


For wiring I am using 0,2mm copper wire. For painting I am using acrylic paint Pactra.



There is still a lot of details to do. I am planning to make the model as close to the original ship as possible.


See you next time.
