Published:

Finally, after a few modifications, the hybrid destroyer/heli carrier DDH-144 KURAMA is fully completed!
Additional details are on the bridge's visor, on the right side of the ship (as you can see through this photo of the real one: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… and across the forecastle and terraces of the superstructure, as well as adding the life boats.
The next step will be presenting this to the JMSDF bureau, so see if they are enthusiastic of adding one more papercraft to their library of free JSDF papercrafts!
That's it, have fun building your own DDH-144 KURAMA! (^^)
Now be careful how you use this: as I already gave so much work on this and as you perfectly know, all rights are reserved - modification and/or sale in any forms are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.

(If you need, I can send you the original template (full resolution file) via eMail - just send me a note with such request)

Just a quick note to my followers and other people interested in this papercraft:

I will recreate this model from scratch, this time resorting to 3D support, like the rest of the ship models I have been creating to this day.

I am also considering other models, including the modified Izumo class, Ohsumi amphibious assault ships, as well as minor destroyers/corvettes of the JMSDF.

Right now I have my hands full on elaborating a "never-was" Japan Imperial Navy Zao class of super cruisers; the pack will include all ships in the class (Zao, Senjo and Unzen), as well as a fourth of my own (either be named Aira or Aogashima, on par with naming these ships after well known Japanese volcanos).
