Neil PatrickSpectacular work Simon. The photo etch looks terrifying, but seems you had no trouble! Looks like it takes the kit up a level or three! 🙂
Simon NagorsnikThanks Neil, nice to hear that from you😁!
It was almost fun to process the PE's, they themselves were of good quality.
Only the instructions were a small horror for me....
Michael KohlThis became a real beauty. On pic 15 you can almost mistake it for the original. 😜
Kidding aside. Very well done and typical Nagorsnik style at sea too.
Tom B.An absolute beauty of a model 👍 Your highlighting really does a lot of work in making such a small model look as striking as it does!
NeulingVery well done and typical Nagorsnik style at sea. I guess someone has said so already ............. 🙂
Simon NagorsnikThanks a lot my friends for all your motivating and encouraging comments!!
For the fact that I almost abandoned this project.... 😁
Stefan FraundorferWow Simon, dein Spiel mit Schattierung und Aufhellung ist großartig und macht dein Modell zu einem echten Hingucker.

J.M.S.D.F. DDG-174 Kirishima
By Hasegwa (30045, Hyper Detail) in 1/700 scale.
My first experience with Hasegawa kits, 1/700 scale, ships and the ocean 😄
Some things happened durung processing, some time passed by, but in the end I'm quite happy with my debut in Navy genre.
During the construction I was always a bit surprised, because I´d expected a better fit of the Hasegawa kit.
I came across some gaps and holes that had to be filled and needs to be sanded.
I also had some difficulties with the instructions regarding the PE parts, as they were often very vague in the specifications.
The PE parts themselves were excellent to process.
It was necessary to rework the sea surface a few times, as I never quite got to the desired result (due to lack of experience).
As a result, my Kirishima may be a little deeper in the water than the original.
The painting went surprisingly faster than expected, as a lot of my usual techniques and procedures were omitted.
Only some color- modulation by airbrush, detail painting, pin- washing and dry- brushing techniques were used finished by minimal streaking effects.
The processing of the decals was also unusual to me (armor modeller) but, with enough decal softener, worked well.
