Mick 662 Report post Posted November 18, 2020 Time for another destroyer, this time full hull, so thankfully no seascape Kit itself looks like this: For now, I just whacked it all into my 'dry dock' and I'm going to attack it with the saw soon. Hull casting is very nice, detail of the deck is crisp ( linoleum part of the deck comes as PE ), only downside of it is hull plating, but nothing that can't be solved swiftly. Some pics of the hull: Cheers Mick 23 Ali Deveciler, Ferhat Karadeniz, Eren Erdogan and 20 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mick 662 Report post Posted November 19, 2020 Yes i have to admit that Akizukis are one of my favourites too.

Mick 662 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 Well Rainbow models aren't for faint hearted But their PE actually forgives a lot. Many other ones disintegrate if you happen to bend something in the wrong direction and try to bend it back. These don't. After Nagatsuki I recommend their kits to anyone who's not afraid of nearly 100% PE model. 1 Bulut Solmaz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kürşat Kaan Kerimoğlu 7,693 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 I hate etched parts. How do you manage to put together so many small pieces of metal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mick 662 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 Because PE is good fun I grew up on paper models, so to me PE stuff is not flimsy, compared with paper its rock solid Plus that's just means to an end. The best part of a model is painting it, and then the weathering, everything else is just build up to it. Good magnifying glass built into a lamp, steady hand and good tweezers, these are the essentials, that and practice 1 Bulut Solmaz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enes ÇALDIR 762 Report post Posted December 5, 2020 Hey there Mick. Glad to see you on the forum Honestly, this is the first time that I've ever encountered a full resin ship model. Naval models are a bit far from my interest but I am seriously interested in this one. Looking forward to seeing how this will come up. 1 Mick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mick 662 Report post Posted December 5, 2020 Thanks, this model is more less 50/50 between resin and PE. Nagatsuki was 95% PE. It's my second resin model, first one was this, some years ago: I know some people don't like working with resin. I'm not a material purist, I really don't give a sh... what it's made of, as long it looks good 10 y a m a n a y d ı n, Kahraman Ege Ceri, Ali Deveciler and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mick 662 Report post Posted December 11, 2020 Plating done, decks in place, rudder as well. Time for degaussing cable and portholes...
