IJN Hiryu 日本海军空母飞龙 

Thanks for the complement. Enjoy your models !

Hi Christopher thanks for the link :)

@Musashi30 He even has built Yamato, if you want to check out his build of that, when you have spare time. Take care, and all the best.

Christopher Snyder I will :)

The starboard guns after the Smoke stacks are all shielded. I suppose it’s because of the smoke. Thanks for the comments.

@Jeff P You are an incredible modeler, such great skill deserved subscribing to your channel, which I have. I wish you all the best, take care.

Thanks for the compliment. Only used mainly rattle-can spray for this project. Not good at air-brushing skills and need to brush up though.

They are steel wires. They can create a slag with its own weight which looks natural. Stretchable nylon or threads cannot do this.

Thankyou for coming back so quick. They look great. What thickness are the wires...did you buy a special pack ?? Just I would like to do the same but I dont know what to buy ?? Many thanks Tim @@JeffPKamenRider

Can check out modelkasten metal rigging artbox. They specify for 1/350 or 1/700. Choose the one that suits you. Model Casten Metal Rigging No. 0.1, Approx. 0.06 mm (5 m) amzn.asia/d/2ePkFbl

Thats great thankyou so so very much

Scratch building is not for the faint hearted. Respect to you sir

Thank you! Enjoy your hobby, most important of all!

Thanks, you too!

My kitty partner to keep me company 😁

Many Fujimi 350 come with either the normal package or the “premium” package, indicated by the “premium” gold stickers on the box. The premium models will come complete with a full ranges of add-on including the PE, sometimes extra planes, or wooden decks, or masking. As they are all from Fujimi, you can be quite assured of perfect fit and finish, and I suppose better price.

@@JeffPKamenRider Thanks for reply. Chasing those hoop-up etched parts sometimes is difficult and price may exceed twice the original kit price. So Premium you said costs more but no headache..

@@derpreue3947 the premium package can be cheaper compare to if you buy the add-ons separately. However you do not have the choice of what add-ons you want to acquire. The box comes pre packed with whatever Fujimi decides to give you. To me this is less headache.

Jeff thank you for taking time to reply to my message.Again thank you for posting and sharing with rest of us. Keep up good work- waiting for Nagato & Taiho .

Wow! It’d be an honour! How would you like this done?

@@JeffPKamenRider If you could email me I can send you the example of what I need. My contact info in in my about me on my channel tab. Thank You for willing to help!!

@@JeffPKamenRider also, I do not need any aircraft on the flight-deck, but if they are glued down and can not be removed that's ok.

Hmm.. can seem to find your contact info. How about I give you my email here, it’s jeffpsp@me.com

@@JeffPKamenRider great, it will be coming from my eleventh hour motion pictures email.

Arno Kempers Nice collection you’ve got there. Are they all 1/350?

@@JeffPKamenRider Yes, they are. Currently building Ticonderoga CV-14.

If your local stores don’t carry them, can always try to get from online stores such as www.hlj.com/scale-models

😆 have been collective my growing up kid’s

I got the “premium” kit as indicated by a gold sticker on the box. In it came together with the complete set of etch by Fujimi.

Thanks to the Covid-19 lockdown, I had the time to complete it. Otherwise it’s going to take a longer time.

at the end of the video is the Shokaku (although not my best effort from earlier days). Shokaku's bridge and smoke stack is on the opposite side of Hiryu.

Yes. It is 350th scale. At my age and eyesight I cannot handle 1/700 anymore. Although right now I am struggling with a 1/700 Akagi

@@JeffPKamenRider It's true that 1/700 is small, so it's difficult. Looking forward to your next piece!

It’s Shokaku en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Shōkaku

Oo IJN Shokaku, well goodluck and stay safe

@@JeffPKamenRider Shokaku! My favorite aircraft carrier!
