I am running out of adjectives to use on all of the great work that has been posted on the site here lately.
This is a very nice setting and display, dramatic and imaginative. Thank you for sharing with us.

Other than the gaff in his write up calling the ship the JDF DDG Kirishima instead of the IJN BB Kirishima, a very nice display of a 700 scale waterline kit,

i am as much surprised as you are about the title.I wouldn't be able to put all these letters in their right order even if i wanted to ,never mind accidentally.I just dont have a clue how they appear on the heading.I guess the editor must have mixed them up with some other submission,thats the best explanation i can think off.

One great build of a IJN ship! I love the awnings and would really like a write up on making them if possible.

Excellent presentation Kostas!
Very well balanced altogether, with a good weathering/volume enhancement.
Congratulations,
Rui
