Ahoy mates!

Hasegawa Models sends word to the news room of their future of the IJN Akagi. This is a very interesting kit.

How unique. A real time piece here. An early version aircraft carier. Should get a pretty good following , especially among those that really like to backdate stuff and have several different versions.
