I started the build on 8/4/19 the hull went together in a snap and with many many internal supports.The deck required that many holes from the underside be drilled out for this particular ship I would imagine that rest of the holes were for others of the Agano class of light cruisers.I have a PE from Eduard for the Agano class for the railings plus what Hase supplied mainly for the flight deck area. Pictures profile,supports hull,assembled hull and size Yahagi 19.5" and Yukikaze 11.5
1/350 Hase Yahagi

NICE.....!!
Yahagi usually lead a Destroyer squadron as a command ship. It's final battle was in this capacity commanding the screening destroyer group for the Yamato in its final mission to Okinawa "Operation Ten-Ichi-go" June 6-7 1945.
Yahagi was hit in the engine room by a torpedo around 12.45 in the first wave of attacks against the strike force, stopping her dead in the water.
A sitting duck she was hit by multiple torpedoes and Bombs and capsized and sank at approx. 2.05pm June 7th. taking 445 of her crew of 736 down with her.

I would say that I starting to approach the 50% mark on this one nothing on the deck is glued yet except small pieces.I opted to go for the plastic hanger since I folded the brass hanger deck one time opened it back went to go glue it shut and it broke!after one fold?I tried to align the folded pieces but it was off after the glue dried.I said nope and to boot the anti-skid pattern on the brass looked out of scale of what of been a persons foot the plastic is much more subtle.I am going to incorporate some other pieces hopefully if all goes well from the brass hanger kit.She's looking the part............

So my efforts over the last couple of days I got some railing up on the a/c platform and the PE catapult built which I have seen were my cart is improperly located.The white marks on the deck are were I filled the holes with sprue doing away with the kit ladders.I have ladder on the inside underneath the a/c platform do not know if the one to the back will show up in the resized pics.
