Does anyone know if the Waveline model of the Kashino should include a YAMATO gun turret?

The box art suggests it should but the kit I received recently had the gun barrels and gun mounts but no turret.

I've not been able to contact PitRoad direct so maybe someone here will know.

Thanks.

This is what you should have:


Turret included
Email them and explain the situation - and allow a few days for answer

Just a 'heads up' on this topic.

I contacted Pitroad who replied within 24 hours - great service!!.

They translated the instruction sheet for me and advise that the kit does NOT come with the YAMATO turret. They advise make it yourself or obtain from another source.

So my next question is 'does anyone out there have a spare 1/700 YAMATO turret they are willing to sell/part with'?

Just completed the 'KASHINO' and have posted pictures to my Member Gallery. Nice kit of an unusual vessel specially commissioned to transport the YAMATO/MUSASHI heavy guns. Hope you like it.
