calling this one done tonight. did some rigging, touched up here and there, and mounted on the kit stand. she will take her place on the shelf next to the 1/350 type 076. ended up freelancing some stuff on this one to spice up what was a very "basic" motorized kit. so now on the "wood" workbench i have the kit from 1982 that kicked my ass when i was young. im going to attempt it as my redemption! ive had months of reading about planking and watching wood ship model videos.. going to give it a proper go now. i will probably have something going on the "plastic bench" as well though.. i have a feeling its going to be such a different vibe. anyways , here she is.. the "ji nan type 051"a rather interesting subject in my opinion.

Fantastic work on the destroyer. I started that Swift years ago but haven't gotten back to it since. The masts seem a bit intimidating! I hope your build will inspire me to start it up again.

a rather interesting subject

... and so admirably executed! Sure, it wasn't the most complex kit to start off with, but your build is convincingly 'navy', with just enough by way of enhancements to really sing.
Looking forward to your work at the 'wood bench'.

thats a beautiful looking hull. i would think the masts would be a breeze after what you accomplished! i can only hope mine turns out half as good. any tips or pitfalls?

YES Scratch build a wooden hull is a bit of a job an will it sail or just static ? as ive built several big hulls from wood but i found that plankin required to much filler to make water tight so i done what i call a 1/32nd ply wrap round an that was a lot easyier but you sir have fun an i'll be followin your build
