I can't imagine a more perfectly realized model. And I've seen a LOT of models!

Very impressive! Whether it’s your 2nd or 22nd it’s a very nice build. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

You want to build your next ship “more perfectly”? This I have to see! This build is outstanding and it’s like reading a book. Every photograph impresses my with your fine detail. What a craftsman!

I agree with the above... how can this be improved on? Your build is excellent Sir. It makes one want to buy this kit and give it a try....hmmmm.

yuhong li · Oct 1, 2023

Thank you for your kind words. This KIT is indeed a very good design. It's worth trying! I have just started building the model and there are still many areas that need improvement. The next one may be even better.
Best Regards Yuhong

This is a stunning buld. My only comment apart is that the copper roves should be on the frames, not the outer hull strakes.

I haven't been to the forum for a long time. Thank you for your compliment. I have indeed had this confusion. Exposed bolts will indeed be corroded by sea water. But after seeing the monograph, I decided to follow the instructions in the book. I also hope you can give more answers in this regard! Thank you, your friend Yuhong

Beautiful build! in regards to the planking bolts/Rivets is it normal to protrude so far out? Can some one clarify if this is normal?

jeep · Feb 12, 2024

exposed bolts like this would create a considerable amount of drag on the hull.

In tank testing kinda those bolts are used as turbolence generators to compensate smaller Raynold's numbers due to the reduced scale of the models. Even clink built wouldn't have worked greatly under that respect.
