thx

only Info I could find
http://www3.plala.or.jp/takihome/ab-tei.html
that would make it 24 cm in true scale, and I can't see the third turret...

btw, can the BA sculpts be used as marines? I just stumbled about the Info that during WWI, a japanese destroyer group was stationed on Malta and did escort duty for the entente in the Mediterranean.

Thanks for the infofmation gentlemen

Those turrets in the bow look suspiciously like surplus turrets from a Type 89 tank, so at a guess those are 57mm guns not 75mm

so says the datasheet from the link - I was wrong with my guess

Inspite of having dozens of half finished projects waiting for my attention I've made the basic hull and cabins this afternoon pretty rough but a good start.I'll show some pic.s on the workbench section later this week

Just a brief update.

Leandro has finished the sculpts and I couldn't be happier with them. I've asked him to take some new shots as I've deleted some of the others, and I don't have them all together, at any rate. I will post some pictures (likely in a new topic), as soon as I have them. It is my hope that Leandro will be willing to do either some Chinese or French Gendermes for the French Concession at some point. (Assuming the Japanese sell well enough to fund such endeavours.)

I have also received the finished examples of Fu'Xian's "otherworldly" minions. I will have some photos of these as soon as possible. I may well wait until they are cast in metal to share them, but I think they are going to suit the purpose very well, and are arguably the best work he's done for me, thus far.
