Many years ago I built Tamiya's 1971 tooling of the Panzer II and now I have my hands on their 2008 new(ish)-tooling kit.

In this second installment of my project to build the modern US Navy fleet, I take on the Dragon's USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) in 1/700.

I knew that a 1/700 scale ship was going to require some degree of tedious work, but this kit included the smallest pieces I have ever seen!

Cloudy decals, aggressive paint thinner, and how I learned to stop worrying and love the mistakes!
