Really nice looking kit. 4 is the perfect number for the Nagato, but you need 6 for the Kongo and a whopping 12 for the Yamato. $20 adds up quickly. The ones with the Nagato and the Kongo are pretty nice, but the ones with the Yamato are dated, still an additional $60 is a bit prohibitive.

Edit: I am talking about the 12.5cm guns here as the article talked about both and I focused on the larger ones. If one of the editors would be so kind as to put my responese in the correct area, I would be appreciative.

The problem with trying to figure out how many of these you need for your ship is interesting. They had single mounts, some double and some triple mount 25mm AA. I know that 10 would be perfect for the Nagato, didn't research into the Yamato....it said 115 25 mm. These are far superior to the ones in the Nagato kit, so I might have to pick up a box for both the Nagato and the Kongo.

Great review, Frank, as always. The waller begins creaking again...

Nice stuff, yet another reason to start considering going up to 1/350 and make my banker scream "Uncle" more often than he does already.

Thanks for the review Frank.
