That is a fantastic Clean Build. Looks like the ship- a true replica.

The comparison with the I-27 looks great.  I forgot how big some japanese Subs were.

The Type A target looks like a mini model in itself. You did some really fine PE work on it.

Thanks for posting the build.

Thanks again everyone!

I took this, along with a recent Jap sub to the local contest yesterday. Both took gold and this one got "Best Ship"! Not bad for my first ship, I suppose!

Thank you for sharing this build.  It looks spectacular, and it deserves the awards.  

I'm starting a Fletcher class destroyer, and this build log will be a great help.  It's been many years since I've attempted a ship.    

It looks awesome.
