IJN Haguro, Myoko-class heavy cluser Japanese navy 1/700. This is my previous work and first build of 1/700 warship.
The kit box came with a set of PE parts, so the clear load-map for precise completion were kindness.
It be added wires and masts with thin metal wires.This is a major change from the mast kit part, so it is more accurate and looks better.
The ocean surface is cut out of a clear acrylic plate with splashing waves added by the gel.
To be honest, my handling were a clutter for these PE parts. This is technical subject for next my work, so I wish these were done more accurate, looks better.

Joe and Phil,
Thank you kind comments.
In the first building of 1/700 warship, I had a lots of new experience and felt some diffrence from my used way by 1/35 scale modeling.
It’s needs about careful treatment for the fragile parts, many PE-crafting, and reading glasses.
If it would be reconstruct with sea surface, the methods were so various way, gel, clear-resin, and more. I really impressed that beauty expressive by skillful modeler’s works for various color, wave and surge situation.
