"Snowy Wind" - Yukikaze: Tamiya's 1/350th Scale Japanese Navy Destroyer

[noname]

Thank you FT!!! Appreciate the kind words!!! Going to make room in my case for this one. One thing to clean a tank...completely different thing to dust a ship!!

Your kidding, right Chris? :-\ Those flaps are impressive in their own right!!! Thank you BTW!! Course I see all the little things that bug me with mine...which I had to fix last night after posting ;D. Soooooo ready for weathering....in my mind at least!!!! LOL, still need to finish paint!!

That is the thing TRM, when you take close up pics of these things they always show the blemishes. That is why I say if it looks good in the photo, it will look really good in real life.

 

[TRM]

Thanks JMac!!! ;D

Noname, know what you mean. I hate getting something done and ready for pics...take the pics, upload and such only to find out I missed a seam or something! Can't see it with the naked eye, but once you zoom in!! :-X

Looking forward to see your next installment !

[TRM]

Hello!!

Making a little progress, I have a small update which will lead into a couple more updates this week hopefully.


Here we go!

Finally I was able to mount smaller AA barrels on the single units.





And getting down and dirty I broke down and began to prime all the superstructure sections.







Next up in a day or so, I will have some color going down. A dark base and then shading lighter sections.

Thank you for hanging in there!!!

TBC......

 

[spud]

man them barrels are tiny. good job T.

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

Cool stuff Mario.

When I think back to the fairly small box of parts I handed you and the size of the hull I saw, it's even more impressive.

 

[TRM]

Thank you Spud!! LOL...tiny aint the half of it!!! went a bit blind trying to get these in!! 8) Things should be moving along at a better pace now that the AB is out!! ;D

Thanks Ken!! I remember opening this kit for the first time that night...A LOT more in this kit than what I saw or expected!! Worth every penny!!


(.............Mario...lol )

 

[Myke]

Those barrels are huge.

So much detail..., incredible!

 

[Chris S]
