Just bought the kit a couple weeks ago. Nice to see it go together.Pity the anchor chains, while a nice detail are about 4 times the size they should be. Stand a 1/350scale sailor alongside it and it becomes screamingly obvious that it's out of proportion.

Those rectangular objects on the bridge just below the hatches/windows were mattresses secured there to give some shrapnel protection . And were usually a dirty looking off white. Good job. Maybe next time highlight the combat details a bit more you could even fabricate metal looking drop shrouds for the bridge windows . Varying shades of gray will give the model more depth as well.

"30 minute blooper reel"--welcome to the world of Ship Modeling :-D Be advised that there are PE sets for the 1/700 Kagero DD kits out there, and AM accessories. A very credible build and a credit to your skills, A couple of notes--the brown on the deck is due to IJN using a chestnut/russet colored linoleum over steel decks for increased footing (the USN used it to, but largely only at Signalman stations and some searchlight platforms). Tamiya's Hull Red is actually perfectly matched to IJN hull red color chips. It needs 50% red to get to USN hull red; and used only !:4 with Insignia Red for RN hull red. As a general note, destroyer propellors were in a Monel sort of green-steel sort of hue, and IJN ones had a green-steel-bronze sort of hue, per the preserved ones in Taipei. A magnificent build.
