Very nice Biggles,
The smoke looks very effective, and I like the lighting effects in the photos.
Would be interested to know who's etch you used?
Cheers

Thanks for liking, guys. PE is the full set from Infini. Lots of small bits that require patience. The turned brass and PE masts are a huge improvement over the kit ones.

Thanks Biggles,
The infini set looks very complete, and certainly adds depth to the build. I am using one of their 1/350 sets on the destroyer Kagero, even in that scale, their are fair few very small parts.
again great build.
cheers

No one's mentioned the faults - especially the most obvious ones! The bow rigging line to the top foremast has a kink in it. These are older photos and I've since re-heated the stretched sprue and tightened it.
