I send you another little contribution to your site. This is my model of IJN heavy cruiser Aoba that I have just finished. I’ve tried to build her 1942 configuration at MO Operation in the Solomons when it was Rear-admiral Goto’s flagship. As you can see rigging is not precisely one of my special skills but I think this model shows some improvement in my (still early) career as a modeller.

I added some details made from PE scrap (doors and ladders in turrets and bridge). I also used very thin wire to detail both funnels, the forward mast and the crane. Signal flags are made of tracing paper painted with watercolors. The seaplane has been detailed with propellers and antenna. I also used Aber PE for the railing.
