Here are a few shots of my just completed 1/700 Fujimi IJN Oyodo. The model represents the Oyodo in October, 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. However, since I started building her long before the campaign started, she is ineligible.

Still, I figured I'd share a few picture of her with you...




The main battery turrets were replaced with turrets from a the new re-tooled Tamiya Kumano. The AA guns, floatplanes, ship boats and some of the radars are from Skywave. Photo-etch is from Tom's Model Works.

Beautiful job Martin. I love her.

Real nice job Martin.

I am currently working on the Fujimi IJN Isuzu so I really admire the fine work you have done on the IJN Oyodo.

What paint colour did you use for the brown deck? It looks very good indeed.

Sean

Congratulations Martin, she looks good!

Skipper

Thanks guys...appreciate the nice words.

Sean, the deck color is from White Ensign's stable of Colourcoats paints. It's their IJN Linoleum.

Thanks very much Martin.
