After a short distraction fixing up my garage and preparing for winter I'm ready to start my Pearl Harbor build. I'm putting together the Flyhawk Models 1/700 USS Ward and Japanese Ko-hyotek class two man submarine.
At this point I think I will put this in a case with both vessels on stands out of the water. I'm thinking the Ward higher than the submarine.
Make no mistake this is a tiny build. There are very few plastic parts and three frets of photo etch! Also included are a few resin pieces. Should be fun and I'm hoping to be creative with the base.
Here is what I'm working with...
The USS Ward is from Flyhawk and the Ko-hyotek submarine is a single part in a Tamiya I-16 &
I-58 kit which is actually quite nice itself!
The hull on the Ward is excellent. It's a perfect fit. The propeller shafts are a bit thick so I may modify those a bit.
Here's the instruction sheet and kit box.
And here's our Tamiya submarine. I think we can modify these to give them a better look. Anyone have any midget sub propellers in their parts box?
Should be a fun one and doable in the remaining time.
If you're still building send me some photos and I'll upload them into our blog.
