This Is a Simple but Detailed Japanese Destroyer Boat of the Shiratsuyu-class From World War Two. The Destroyer we are making today is the Yūdachi or Evening Squall, it was laid down on October 16th, 1934, and launched on January 7th, 1937, it was then sunk on November 13th, 1942 by the Destroyer USS Sterett. Up until then it had served the Japanese for 5 years and participated in Battle of Tarakan, Battle of the Java Sea, Battle of Midway, Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, and the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. But enough of the History Lessons, Let's Get Building!

The hull is the most important part of the ship model as it is the base for everything that goes on top.

Build Base

The guns and torpedo tubes are very simple, put them to the side, for now, you will need them later

This is where the commanders and other officers would be and the smokestacks would carry all the exes smoke and steam out from the engine rooms. You will need the torpedos you built earlier as they will go alongside the smokestacks. Put these aside as well you will need them one step from now.

Ad Main Guns and Extra Details
