IJN Shigure 1939 [2:1 scale shiratsuyu]

POIIII!

Been a month, some laziness, a hard work, car stuff, flying stuff and some otter things (hehe, get da joke).

Here's the Poi-ship sister, yeah, a shiratsuyuu class, but not the one that never stops to poi..
Here's one hell of a ship, and my first steps into big scale, I'll step up soon™.. That's the ship which the famous captain Tameichi Hara commanded, one of the "lucky ships" of the second world war. Again, as with the kumano, hyper intersting history (recommand you to check it), and a really great book called "Japanese destroyer captain", written by Captain Hara himself.

The ship info and dimensions:

Shigure (時雨 ”Drizzle”)^[1] was the second of ten Shiratsuyu-class destroyers, and the first to be built for the Imperial Japanese Navy under the Circle One Program(Maru Ichi Keikaku).^[2] Along with the destroyer Yukikaze, she developed a reputation within the Imperial Japanese Navy for being "lucky" or "unsinkable", emerging undamaged from several battles and as the sole surviving Japanese warship from two. As the flagship of Captain Tameichi Hara's Destroyer Division 27 Shigurereceived a prominent place in the memoirs of the only Japanese destroyer captain to survive the entire Pacific War.
