1/700 IJN Tama (Tamiya)
There is something I really like about these light cruisers - especially when camouflaged. Tamiya, scratch built spare aircraft wing walkway over torpedo pit. Toms modelworks PE plus various scraps to make breakwater etc. Did not realise PE didnt include funnel caps until too late - carried on so as not to delay build. Also realised too late, that the spare floats sit on a bandstand not on a solid superstructure. Suture for rigging and polystyrene/acrylic medium & cotton for seascapes. Dropped it (!) and busted all ringing/masts just as putting finishing touches to cotton work. Looked unrescuable for a time but managed to repair in the end.
