Very nice looking ship!

Thank you for sharing Lars.

Well done Lars, great amount of superb detailing.

thanks for sharing,

Nice looking build! I also like less-famous ships so it's good to see something similar. I enjoyed the steps of your build article- always interesting to see another person's work ethic.

For future builds, if you want smaller anchor chain, Lion Roar makes a nice photo etch set, and hobby anchor chain can be purchased in 40 links per inch, which is perfect in size for 1/700.

I'm looking forward to more of your builds!

That is some of the best looking water effect I have seen - what did you use?
The photography is very fine also.
I hope the seaplane didn't run into the port side - in a almost no wind condition, they could have set down parallel to the ship and not had to worry about scratching the paint!
It appears that this ship was not one that had the catapult added, as some of the later (and perhaps larger) light cruisers did.

Great job , I'm amazed at the detail that you've put into this piece The floatplane adds scale and looks real nice , Thanks Bob

Great job, amazing level of detail.... thanks for sharing! cheers
