The boats are done, and the aircraft are probably the only parts I actually bought online—I just didn’t have the energy left to model them myself.
The last photo shows pretty much everything I still have left to do. And then, of course, there’s the display case, but that part will “only” hurt my wallet...

Outstanding job!
Those Japanese pagodas are so unique but look so top heavy. Makes me wonder how this ship would fare in a typhoon.

Hi all,
Well, Fuso is finally finished. It’s taken many years to get here, and there were at least a couple of occasions when she came very close to ending up in the dustbin of modelling history!
Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to sort out a proper photo session yet, so for the time being here are just three quick shots of her under the display case.
I’d hoped that finally getting Fuso over the finish line would bring a bit more satisfaction. Sadly, a few things going on in my personal life at the moment mean I can’t quite enjoy it as much as I’d like to.
The next build is already on the slipway and, as promised, it’ll be HMS Exeter as she appeared during her final battle in the Java Sea. That said, Exeter isn’t the only thing currently taking shape on the bench...
In the meantime, I’m hoping Fuso will make it to Pabianice in Poland, so there should be a chance to see her in the flesh. Why only “hoping”? Well, I’m not normally a superstitious person, but this particular model seems to be remarkably unlucky, so I’m not taking anything for granted just yet!
Anyway, thanks to everyone who’s followed the build over the years.
All the best!

That’s superb work, well done.
