Very cool to see it built!

I have also completed it just a year ago or so. It was a superb little palette cleanser.

Here is a link to my thread: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=313442

My version took a lot of creative license and I did not have your excellent PE set, however. I like how you decorated yours!

What would a small tanker like this be used for?


They were coastal tankers carrying fuel from fleet bases to fitting yards. There were 4 of the Juyusen 3128 built.

Pretty much finished with the deck fittings installed. Will probably add flag poles and flag.
