Tamiya-USA has a text description of the features on this upcoming kit.

The Mogami in this configuration should be a great seller. Even aircraft builders are showing interest, I currently have two pre-order requests from non-ship builders in my local club. (I did warn them of the costs associated with the latest batch of 350th releases and associated PE sets!)

Well, two things I liked. It comes with a FULL complemnt of aircraft and retails for 12,000 yen which is roughly $125US right now. Due out in March, a preorder might pick it up for less than $110. Check Hobby World Japan they usually go 10% lower on Tamiya stuff.

Having the aircraft is a plus for sure.

I like that price so far. The best thing is to look around, you never know where you will get the best deal.
