Well, I recognize the Akagi and the Hiryu (the only 2 Japanese carriers with the island on the port side) but the one in the middle. Is that an Amagi class?

Man! A carrier with the Island on the port side looks really peculiar!

Tamiya trying to "clone" the "Premium" type of kit from Dragon? Good news then, more competition, better prices/selection. Love the paint schemes, shame things like job and sleep get in the way of this hobby
