These are photos of my latest 1:200 scale scratch-built member of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Nachi uses pine and bass woods as the primary building materials. It is as it appeared shortly before its sinking in 1944. The model took about ten months to design and build. I used the Gakken monograph and Japanese Heavy Cruiser, Myoko Class, Building Ship Model and Research and all the photos I could find.
