MSW Crew-mate Jim C. Smith (Freighter) sends in his first submission, a very interesting "WIP" IJN diorama, in this "On Display" feature!

I wonder why, Harry!

Jim, you already know my feelings about the dio... but here it goes again: Congratulations!
Well accomplished and a way of portraying a one-off kind of ship

A beautifully done dio, and interesting cargo ship. I saw this last Sunday, and photographed it for MSW together with Jim's Hikawamaru which is equally as good, and the best ship examples in the show.

Cheers,

great dio... different ships, great 'activity" surrounding the dio (in this newbie's eyes). Thanks for sharing!
