Building the Tamiya 1/350 Scale IJN Yukikaze destroyer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- In this latest 1/350 scale plastic model ship build, we’ll take on the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) Kagero class destroyer-Yukikaze. We'll construct, add kit supplied and White Ensign photo etch, airbrush, hand paint, weather, detail, and add rigging to Tamiya’s Kit #78020. This will be the 25th amateur model project for this channel.
UPDATE: On March 31, 2021, Caladan Oceanic re-surveyed the wreckage field believed to be the USS Johnston (DD-557) and confirmed it is indeed the Johnston through new underwater images including the bow which displayed "557". This section lies 21,180 ft (6456m) below the ocean
surface.
UPDATE II: In June 2022, the wreck of the destroyer USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413) was discovered. It was sunk during the same battle as the USS Johnston (DD-557). It now holds the current title of deepest shipwreck discovered to date. The Samuel B. Roberts lies at a depth of 22,621 ft (6,895 meters) surpassing the USS Johnston by by 1,441 feet (439m).

Always love how you add some informations and history about the kit you built. Not only fun to watch, but very educative.
Hi Bagas Prasetya, I'm very pleased you like the combination approach to the videos. Thanks for watching!😃
First time I have ever seen anyone post all tools and paints used. Subscribed.
Hi Eduardo, glad you like that and thanks for joining the channel! I use to present the materials and paints employed during the course of my videos, but I'd often still get questions about what I used. In response to that situation, I now display my paint/equipment/material slides after the "warm-up" intro. 😉
I love the IJN too~
😍
WOW MAX !! Every time I watch your video I am amazed. I have build the
yukikaze 1 year ago after watching your video...great kit !!
Mathieu
Hi Mathieu, thanks, I was delving into your territory there! Definitely tough work, keep it up buddy! 😄
What a beautiful build! Thank you so much for sharing it.
Hi omcheeseman, thanks for the much appreciated comments! 😃
Wow. I have a new appreciation of ship modeling. Especially in 1/350 ,as those were common when I started but now the ships keep getting smaller! Very excellent modeling. Thanks for sharing
Hi Adam, they're also getting bigger too! Seems like 1/200 scale is becoming popular and more available 😊
Love your 1/350 ship builds.
Hi John, glad you liked them. I have at least two more 1/350 scale ship projects/videos coming in the new year. 😉
Beautiful build, the history of the ship so well done.
Your modeling and video skills are to be much admired
Thanks for sharing, Cary
Hi Cary, thanks for those very kind comments! There are a couple of typos in the video text, but I think everyone is enjoying the information more than disliking my poor typing skills! Best Wishes to you! 😊
I was just thinking yesterday that I was hoping you were doing well and that another video would be coming along.
Excellent work!
And there it was! 😄
@@MaxAfterburner On top of the fact this kit is actually the cheapest 1/350 scale Japanese warship around.
One of the best videos follows along in construction. I have seen love the weathering techniques will be building same model only difference is photo etch kit lots more to do .
Hi Peter, glad you enjoyed that ship build. It sure is a tiny model at 1/350 scale.
Outstanding!
Hi Michael, thanks very much! It was a long and rough road, so it's nice to hear that there are viewers who are enjoying this latest video. 😃
@@MaxAfterburner 👍👍👍❤
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Hi Simon, so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 😃
Nice work!
Hi Jeremiah, thanks again. All good things must come to a ... fraudulent end. 🤔
Brilliant video as usual 👏
Hi NIkCan, Thank you and Cheers! 😃
*So nice destroyer with the pe set (very effective, Whit Ensign is essential for those who want to improve naval kits), well done! 👍👏*
Thanks Forever Plastic kits! I'm happy to have survived the PE battle! 😃
Great work 👍🏻
Hi Mymodelism, thank you so much 😀
I"ve never seen such a great video in my life I wish you prosperity
형제 친하게 지내봅시다.
😀😀😀😀😀
Hi Gyu Hobby RC, wow, thanks so very much for those very kind and generous comments! 🤩 Best wishes to you!
БАНЗАЙ ДРУЖИЩЕ!!! Великолепная работа. Молодец!
Leha -- Спасибо большое! Banzai! 😉😄
Excellent video & job building your Tamiya IJN Yukikaze destroyer too!
Thanks JackFlemingFan, I'm happy you liked the model and the video. I was relieved when I finally got it done! 🙂
Yes, a very enjoyable watch....thank you for sharing a ship build, a rarity on YT.....and a stellar job on the Yukikaze BTW.
Hi Robbo, thanks for the very kind kudos 😃
Great build! I hope your channel starts getting more attention!
Hi EpicEli04, thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments! 😊
Great video brother. And excellent work. You should do more ships often. Cheers 🍺
🚢⚓😉
Good technique 31:50, happened across the vid randomly but no matter what you specialize in when model hobbying, the methods are universal so I watch anything and am always happy to learn. Cheers.
A little bit here, a little bit there ...😇
Wow, great video and great build. I look forward to getting back to my yukikaze asap after a 2 year pe cold feet scare.
Hi Daniel, I'm glad you enjoyed the video enough to inspire your own successful build restart! 😃
It looks amazing. Great job
Hi Ayush, it was tough, but I'm glad you liked it! 🙂
Nice build and paint .
Love that look .
Great information in this video .
Mike Espo .
Hi Mike, thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed this one too! 😄
Awesome
Fantastic! I’m getting ready to start the Tamiya 1/350 Fletcher. Thank for the tips!
Hi Bill, good luck and I'm glad that this episode's material might help you out. 😃
Outstanding
Thanks Ruben, I appreciate that!
Thanks for the video. Just read up about the Yukikaze after it survives WW2. It was ceded to China as war reparation. She served in the ROC navy even after the nationalist lost mainland China. She captured a Soviet civilian tanker among many others as they were trying to run the blockade of mainland China
Hi Vasili, interesting, I don't think I read any of that about the tanker when I was researching the Yukikaze.
Yes another model kit.😁 thanks for the hint.
Hi SuperSonicMach12, I hope you liked this one 😉
Great work‼︎
Thank you! Cheers, ZERO -kage1945!
Great video Max the photo etch made a huge difference in the end
Hi Moz 81, PE is definitely essential in ship models I feel, but it was certainly demanding! 🙂
I made a diorama of this kit for my fathers birthday last year, I almost wished I kept it because it was an amazing kit an turned out really well.
Hi Alexandr, sounds like this one brought back some good memories! 🙂
Ur like plasmo the skill and the art is amazing!
Good job!
Hi Alexander, that's very kind of you to comment. PLASMO is the most popular modeler on YT. He is painfully good. Thanks for watching this tiny destroyer build.
Your welcome I also have learned a lot from this video like painting tactics and ways to build small things cus I love building ships
Your my favorite modeling youtuber
Hi Edward, wow, thanks! That's high praise 😃
That's so impressive and beautiful!
Hi mikefly562, that's very kind of you, thanks! 😊
Excellent work!
Hi Michael, thanks, your comment is most appreciated! 😊
@@MaxAfterburner Your skill is most appreciated.
I have read Capt Haras memoirs several times. Highly recomend it! Very easy style to read.
Hi Jerry, I agree 😃
@@MaxAfterburner hey! Great to hear from you! I wore the covers off that book! Just a thought try I BOAT CAPTAIN by ZENJI ORITA its more fact based but an excellant read! Another you might like SUICIDE SUBMARINE BY YATKA YAKOTO ASLO VERY GOOD. Take good care pop in and time!
I bought the kit, and will have a better time knowing what you did with yours. Beautiful build!
Hi freddakin7119, I was actually looking at my Yukikaze yesterday which is in a glass case next to my model of the Yamato. I forgot how small this destroyer model is and I'm amazed that I even finished such a tiny ship 😅. Have great fun and best wishes on your build!
Great build video 👍 I like the sequence of painting and assembling. Build on friend.
Hi MegaDave1962, thanks so much for your comment! 😄
My eyes ain't what they used to be. You struggled and fought that PE so much I was hoping for victory closeups at the end.
Hi Mark, the video was getting long and I figured there were enough rough close ups during the construction to provide context. 🙂
As always awesome work my friend,never built a ship before,but that was inspirational 👏 bravo.love the info that you gave about some good stuff never would have imagined,thanks for posting.
Hi Larry, thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the associated tid bits 😇
Another fantastic build!!!! This video was mesmerizing!!! As the Japanese would say- "Subarashii!!" "Anatawa jouzu desu yo." Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome! Thank you, mr.modern44 😃
beau montage ...
Thanks Robert! 😃
Very interesting, got this kit today looking at maybe RC version in future - very instructive.
Thanks 🙏
All the best from down under

Hi koganinja100, thanks for the great comments. Cheers! 😊
"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.
Hi CAPNMAC82, thanks for that information, this is definitely your forte! 😊
@@MaxAfterburner yeah ships are my gig, right in my blood. Much like how you are reflexively familiar with the inside bits on a/c.
I have used Freetime hobbies for some great ships in 1/700 scale including Combrig Models and others. They are good enough but mislabeled or rather posted an incorrect pic of one expensive Combrig kit. It was the difference between one battleship vs a cruiser with the same name. So I got my cruiser instead of the battleship simply because I was using the picture on their website as an indicator of what I purchased. But still Freetime Hobbies is a good model supplier. Great video btw.
Hi William, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
I loved it, thanks, and I loved the storm and rain, where do you live?
Hi Bill, I'm so very glad you enjoyed it! I live in the Grand Canyon State 😎
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.
Hi Sabre Kai, great point! 🤔
Thanks for uploading another excellent build, Max - I particularly like the way you integrate interesting information about the plane/ship which you're building into the video. On which subject, however, there's a hiccup at 04:41: i.e. you misspell Guadalcanal as 'Guadacanal' (I'm sure it was just a typo!) All of your subscribers look forward avidly to project # 26
Hi Stephan, thanks! Yup, I did it again 😞. I'm actually an excellent speller, but I'm the world's worst typist! My video editing software does not have spell check to flag things for me if I'm not paying close attention. Glad you enjoyed the build! 😄
Super ...
Hi Robert, thanks, and I hope you're doing fantastic! 😃
Like the Indy this is great, and I'd love to see you complete a Tone
Hi Kevin, it would help add to the ever increasing fleet for sure 😃
Wonderful build...
I could just see the sweat and hear the cussing on placing those heavily photo etched turrets in place. 😂
Hi Roger, thanks! Tiny parts on a tiny model! 😲
did i mention that i hate doing photo etch??!! again a great build Max. be proud.
Thanks, I don't know if I could be able to do another tiny project like this one until after I get a good break 😇
If I would have a navy I would have liked it to filled with a class like this one
Hi xen70, 🛥️🛥️🛥️🚢🚢🚢⛴️⛴️⛴️ 😊
@@MaxAfterburner Great work man! Love the comparison
It's funny but there was an anime released about 15 years ago in the US by Bandai's US home video division (now since closed) about a futuristic fighter nicknamed "Yukikaze." Yukikaze was a character in the series and had an AI so advanced that the jet was basically alive.
Nice little funny moment with the crew coughing due to the excessive amount of smoke. Good build! This makes me want to try my hand at building some type of modern era warship, but my eyesight is not as good at 56 years old. Way too many little pieces.
Hi Antoeknee !!!, it's a challenge at any age! 😃😉
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. Thx
Hi Scott, yep, totally missed the sandbags...
Great assembling! Can i ask how long, wide and tall the whole model is? Im thinking of getting a display case for it…
Hi, the completed model on its display stand is 5cm at the widest, 10cm tall, and 35cm in length. This of course does not include the spacing around the ship you would want to include for your case.
This kit is in the Ten Ichi Go configuration.
great build,that Looks very helpfull for my own 1\200 YUKIKAZE card model project. Thank you. One Idea: A very much better bronze effect is possible (on the linoleum deck's bars as on the propellers) by using Citardel gold colour (can with a white cap!) with much finer grinded pigments... Same due to the silverish top of the torpedo transport wagon's railing and a tremendous lot of little dots that can additivly been set here and there. Hth,Chris
Hi Narrow Gauge Island, thanks for the advice. I may use more metal pigments where needed on a future ship model. Have fun with your build of the IJN Yukikaze!
@@MaxAfterburner Thank you I did start wit the hull and balsa filling blocks
What did you used to make the putty softer and clean up so nice? I am really new to using it so my results have been disappointing.
Hi jackal119, that particular putty is a water based product. I just use a cotton swab moistened in plain water to clean up.
Nice one ^-^
Hello Foab Moab, thanks so much! You didn't miss this one 😉
@@MaxAfterburner Nope, lol :P
very nice build... and nice infomation also, can i know the expected price when buying this kit?
Hi, it's expensive for its size. I paid about $70 USD for the kit. Thanks for watching! 😃
Quick question. Do you apply a clear coat to the hull before weathering with oil paints?
Hi Ho-203, so far in my ship builds for the channel, I have not applied a clear coat prior to adding any weathering including the oils. Typically, however, most modelers would add the protective coat.
Idk if you remember me but I had asked about the revell Uss Arizona a pretty long time ago now. Anyways, I want to get my dad a model(specifically a fighter jet or aircraft carrier) for his birthday but I put a limit of 35 dollars. What model would you suggest because my dad has been wanting to get back into modeling but doesn't have the time to actually go out and get one. If you could reply to this it would be a great help.
Hi Darth Revan, I do remember you, of course. At a $35 USD budget even without paints will limit your choices to kits and scale. For an aircraft carrier you'll have to look at 1/700 scale and for an aircraft probably a 1/72 scale kit. I don't know what your father's preferences are, but that's a starting point for you that I hope helps. 😃
@@MaxAfterburner thanks for the tips and I put it at $35 because I already have paints and things like that so I don't need to worry about that but I would like to know if there is a brand that I could look at that would really help. Thankd
@@MaxAfterburner Some specific 1/35th scale kits can be had for 27-35 exact these days. But you do have to look around.
My Type 10 MBT and Leopard 1A1 were both 35 USD at 1/35th scale
Can you try built the 1/350 scale Enterprise from Tamiya if possible
Hi Randy, we'll have to see how the next few weeks/months holds for us.
Nice work once again mate. What a fantastic result.
I have to admit though, you made me cringe a couple times watching you drill some of those holes and seeing your finger on the other side looking like it was about to cop the sharp end of the drill bit once you pushed through ;)
Hi James C, thanks! I've come close with that drill bit, but I haven't drawn blood yet! 😆
Just a thought for a video or two a year make a compilation of all the bloopers from your builds over the year and publish a video with them around Christmas each year
YT would probably find a reason to change their TOS again and censor it.
Name means "Snow Wind " some of class is named after different kinds of wind . ( Firstwind Beachwind Valleywind etc.)
I admire your persistance with the photo-etch .(Not my idea of a good time !)
Hi fred ted, yes, the photo etch is surely demanding, but the detail makes it worth it...sometimes 😂 !
I just finished Captain Hara's book and he also translated Yukikaze as "Snow Wind". I got my interpretation elsewhere for the one I used in the video.
You should do some world of warships gaming videos, i think you'll like the game
Hi Samer, I've viewed videos of the game and it looks fun. However, I swore off video games years ago at about the time Call of Duty "Ghosts" came out. I turned into one of those awful individuals who go into a complete rage if it seemed things weren't working out correctly. I didn't even recognize myself 🤭
@@MaxAfterburner trust me i understand what you mean :)
Nice build. I am curious why you went for XF-72 instead of the XF-79 on the decks. No big issue, just I have been told the XF-79 is a pretty authentic color for Japanese anti slip decking.
Hi Glen, the XF-79 is a little brighter and I wanted to make it appear that the deck on this model was little darker and not so brand new.
@@MaxAfterburner Okay ty.
The ladders, i didn't see how you pushed the runs out ?
Hi Alec, I used fine point tweezers to angle the steps out from the flat PE. I'll have to show that on the next ship build video.
@@MaxAfterburner thank you
Where can i buy this shift
Beautiful work, Tom. I was thinking he is really struggling with those small details...until I saw the comparison with your other ships. Almost fell off the couch when I saw it next to the Yamato. The Yukikaze is tiny! You have a great feel for these ship models.
Hi Stephen, thanks again! Because the video is enlarged to make the work easier to see for the viewers, it does show imperfections you wouldn't normally be able to discern and it also ends up disguising how small this kit really is in size. 🧐
Great video! Had to pee around the 18 minute mark for some unexplained reason...
Thanks Egbert! 😃
What glue do you use for the PE work?
Hi Anthony, I use CA glue aka super glue. I find the store bought "Gorilla" brand meets the viscosity I require.
@@MaxAfterburner awesome thanks. I have been using gel type but find it globs. So just nomal CA?
There's different thicknesses from water-like to very thick in hobby catalogs. It all depends on what you're working on and how well you're able to control them which typically are the determining factors. I find the "house brand" good enough for most of my work.
Do more warships at this scale! I love your videos and great job.
Hi Benjamin, the destroyers and light cruisers are so small even at 1/350 that they are at the limit for my big fingers and eyesight 🧐. They sure look bigger on the screen due to the camera's magnification than they are to handle! 😃
Any new models you working on?
Hi Avery, I had another aircraft about to move from the taxiway to the hold short line. But my channel's overall performance this year was disappointing, so I'm going to take a little break and try to get motivated again. Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Does it comes with a Godzilla diorama...
🦖
Two things:
1. I have built the 1/350 scale USS England and according to what I was able to find it was painted over all blue as a camo for the Pacific. If ships could talk I imagine a conversation between the Yukkiaze and the England would be. Y - We paint our ships overall gray. Why do you paint your ships a dark sea blue...even the decks? E - You have kamikazes.
2. The background sounds of a thunderstorm remind me of a white noise website I use. Back in normal times I used that site to drown out my co-workers. Now I use it to make me think I'm back in the office.
Very nice looking model! Unfortunately, I don't have the patience (or dexterity probably) to mess with that tiny photo-etch, otherwise I'd try one myself.
Hi Filibert Kraxner, the photo etch brass can be a struggle at times for sure 😇. Thanks for watching!
PLEAS REMEMBER THE GREAT D D IKAZUCHI CAPTAIN SHUNSAKU KUDO , A TRULY GREAT HUMANITARIAN ... GOD BLESS YOU CAPT. KUDO X. O S V. CAPT. P. van ESS. U S M M
D u know ?
what is the japan flag mean?
I hope you did mistake...
by the way, your job is fantastic...
fool
For a sec i got sacred that the comments will be bombed by kancolle or azur lane fans
While on the other hand yeah, but also more people building models and enjoying ships they adore is a net positive
why does mine look so shit
Excellent video - thanks for showing us how you built it.
Hi mirrorblue100, it's a build...and a show! 😛
Great work.!👍
Thank you so much! 😀
It is a really nice model of the ship. Well done.
Hi Max the maltipoo, many thanks to you for the comments! 😃
