AOSHIMA

The Aoshima Battleship Yamashiro was made with special etched parts from the same manufacturer. I am thankful that it comes with a deck seal. The sandbags are piled up around the anti-aircraft machine gun during the naval battle off the coast of Leyte and it gives me a sense of presence.

It is the Aoshima destroyer Hatsuharu. I bought a kit with etched parts. I think it is just the right amount of etched parts for beginners. I like this kind of detailed work, but how old can I do that?

It is the Aoshima kit of destroyer Nenohi. The gun barrel of the main gun was changed to the brass wire, and even though I was a beginner, I was reckless... But the impression when it is completed with or without a handrail is quite different.

It is Aoshima's destroyer Kagero. Is it a pretty old kit? The number of parts is small. It was my first plastic model of a warship, so I had a tough time. It was funny that the flag of the rising sun was soaked in water and waited for a long time even though it was a seal.
