This one looks even better than the Lionroar set. Of course that one runs for $100. I have a feeling this one will rock your socks off. Of course, The kit is still selling for astronomical sum. I can't track one down for less that $115. So, I have decided to hold off. I think I am getting more bang for my buck with the Nagato and Kongo.

Ooooh, release a set like that for the Atago and we're in business! All of that extra AA she carried when compared to the rest of the class is screaming for a set like this. Unfortunately, though, I think the forgotten sister will stay forgotten when compared to her bigger name sisters...
