Wish I had known; I could have supplied a fair amount of material.
I think you did extremely well. It certainly looks like an Akizuki class.

Thanks Dan,
When I was building the model I used the Kagero 3 D super drawing book and plan. My reason I called it Shamotsuki was I liked the name and it translates to “Frosty or November Moon “
During the pre build , I did not find a lot of war time pictures for this class which I could use, but what I did it looks as my model is not to far from the actual class.

Hi Tom,
It was cast from a RTV mould, but I run the Fast Cast resin around the mould which left a thin wall of resin thus this gave me the thin wall cast.

Nice job on the longboat with oars. Is the hull cast or vacuformed? I cast my LCVP's and life rafts for my APA but did the P-boats and LSM's from basswood. Castings can be nice, I cast the MK38 and MK 37 directors plus 5" twin mounts for my 1:192 Missouri.
Interesting ship! Tom
