Hey Dan!

Forgot to say... I did restrain myself... and I ENJOYED it.

Are you going to nats this year in Va Beach? If I can muster the money up, I want to go. Hopefully I'll see you there if I make it.

Well... I'm not a huge IJN guy. I have a few kits. But, really, I'm more of a RN/USN ship guy. So, I have tons of references for RN/USN and very few for IJN. So, I decided to build it OOB so I could enjoy it without stressing about everything not being perfectly correct or accurate.

It really was a fun build and a nice model. I'll have to build it again with all the bells and wistles - - - - or maybe not. I have too many kits in my stash....

OOB is good therapy. Of course Tony doesn't seem to need any. But the rest of us do. :cool_2:

Impressive, you actually restrained yourself to go OOB. I could never do it.

More OOB Madness... Tamiya's IJN Suzuya

This kit was given to me by my kids a few years ago as a birthday present. I just got the whim to put it together OOB (except for the searchlight towers port and starboard of the funnel. I could not deal with the kit-supplied ones... I know, I know, a little PE here, a little PE there... :heh:

The kit goes together quite nicely... well, like... a Tamiya kit does. Very straight forward and no bull. Here's what she looks like:
