You can put this puppy right next to your Montanna class BB's. I see we are now getting into the never built era like what is presently happening in the Armor modelling field. I have seen drawings for upgraded Bismarks, Iowas and Yamato's in books. Now They might start making kits of these fantasy kits. That just goes to show that ships are stating to gain in popularity. That is a good thing, though frankly I would have rather seen the extended 4 turret Yamato.

Hey all,

It's great that companies come out with new kits, keeps peeps interested in the hobby, but I for one won't get the kit. For one thing 1/700 is just to small for this old gut, Iknow there are many fine kits in this scale but I'll stick to the larger ones as long as I can. Second I don't like the idea of the "what if" or "could have been" kits. I like the kits I do to have some history to it because I like reading about history and a kit made of a ship that never was doesn't hold much appeal to me.

Sorry for the rant, thats my 2 coppers.
