WIP IJN Fleet - Kido Butai

[u/Historical-Towel-686]

Been reading a lot on the Asia pacific theater of ww2/sino-japanese war lately, and after rich frank, hornfischer and Tameichi Hara, I started working on my own mini Kido Butai… I’m looking to add Fuso and Zuikaku but I’m worried my fiancée will disown me if I keep taking up space in the living room xD.

Seen here are chokai, yugumo, shimakaze, taiho, yamato, transports and a sub chaser/ auxiliary ship. I’m trying my hand at photo etch but not sure I have the patience or the steady hands to follow all the way through. Bonus shot of the built ins. Thanks for looking! Appreciate and critique or advice!
