The Duke's Shipyards Launches another Ship in December

Post by Duke Maddog »

Merry Christmas to all. This is one of the models I finished recently., being launched from the shipyards this past Monday. This is the Hasegawa 1/700 scale Hikawamaru passenger liner:

It was a kit I picked up for a buck in our Distressed Kit Auction so it went together fast. Thank you for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thank you Bruce!

Thank you Carlos! No, this was from the June auction, I just figured it would be pretty fast and easy to finish.

Thank you Tom!

That's a beautiful ship. I bet those masts were nothing for the faint hearted to install.
Cheers,
