IJN Hatsuse

1/700 IJN Hatsuse (Modelkrak)

The Modelkrak kit has been enhanced with various parts from Seals models, photoetch from WEM and Atlantic models. She is hand-painted in WEM enamels and Rowney water-colours and rigged with stretched sprue.

I removed and replaced all the cast-on detail from the hull with brass rod and evergreen plastic strip. Davits are all brass rod as are the masts and awning canopy supports.

The splinter shields and stern-walk are paper.

Thanks to Jim for the photographs and Darius for help with the references.
