Let’s build a battleship today. We’re doing the IJN cruiser Yūbari, an experimental light cruiser from the early 1920s that tested ways to cut hull weight while keeping strength. Its design ideas ended up influencing a lot of later Japanese warships.
It’s scaled at 1:200 like other battleship papercrafts. The model requires 13 sheets of paper and includes an instruction guide in Czech but since it’s mostly picture-based, it’s easy to follow even if you don’t read the language.
I read that in War Thunder, this ship is one of the ones players often aim to unlock.
