Greetings
I normally work with plastic/resin USN/IJN 1/350 models. I just finished a 1/350 model of Juneau. My father was on the Hornet CV 8 for its entire WWII career and I have finally completed models of all ships with Hornet the day she was sunk. Juneau is not yet on the site above.
Having finished that model I wanted to build one of the Shiratsuyu class IJN destroyer that first put a torpedo into Juneau on 11/13/42. I discovered no plastic or resin kit of that class exists. So I got the GPM 1/200 paper model of it. Upon arrival I realized the card portion also had to be purchased. I now have both. Needless to say this is my first paper model.
If any member of this site has built this model I would love to hear from you. I have a fairly good clue what most of the parts are but no idea what sequence they go together on the model. My wife is Polish but she cannot translate the publication for me.
I salute all of you who do paper ship models on a regular basis. I like the idea of the model being already painted. I am not wild about the idea of doing structural engineering on the card hull. Looks like one false move and you have a major malfunction on your hands ha! Truth be told I am kind of looking forward to the challenge if I can just figure out what goes where and when. I hope someone here can help me with it. If not I will take a stab at it sometime soon.
Many thanks.
