Hi All!
I attached photos of a reformed model of IJN light cruiser KINU(鬼怒). Building this model was my first experience to build such 1/700 water line(WL) model.
Since this kit belongs to old generation of WL models, the structures were very simplified.(No.1,2)
After repairing the MOGAMI, I decided to reform this model.
First I dismantled the model and removed the paint and glue on the parts.
(No.3,4,5)
Next, the body was re-painted.(No.6)
Too old parts had to be exchanged for recent parts.(No.7,8,9)
Masts and bridge were my own making.
Original back mast (No.10) was changed to new one.(No.11)
Original bridge (No.12) was enhanced with photo etching parts and others.(No.13)
Original front mast (No.14) was also changed to new parts.(No.15)
Through such processes, reforming of the old model was finished.(No.16)
No.17,18 and 19 are photos for the gallery.
Best Regards,
Yutaro
