I'M GOING TO GET SOOOOOOOOOOOO POOR ... but OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

I just discovered (I know I'm slow) that Fujimi will be releasing a 1:350 IJN Shokaku...

Since I just recently decided to focus on 1:350 IJN ships that participated in the Pearl Harbor attack ... and since I'm a nutter for Carriers .... this is awesome news for me ...

But that .... my wallet is going to be sucked dry.

You can see the kit in this video

Hi Niels!

Yes, it's a great time to be a 1:350 modeler (if the wallet can take it, that is)!

IJN light cruisers (Tama and Nagara) are coming out next year in 1:350 as well.

Hi Niels!

Yes, I will need my Nagara to assist my distressed Akagi.

Go Niels Go!

Lets see, being broke or being a fulfilled and happy modeler, yep, being broke just ain't all that bad...........

Good luck and looking forward to seeing your project come together.
