Yes, indeedy. The Arii kit is actually the Otaki kit- which is the best in 1/250. The Doyusha kits are more toylike. You may want to check out my build log on the Arii/ Otaki 1/250 Musashi. The build has been on hiatus for a while because of more pressing projects, but should provide you with some fun facts about the model... You'll have some work cut out for you, but for the price, it's not too bad.

Hi Todd
If you can and want to detail up your IJN Yamato:
Pit-Road's 1/250 IJN Yamato Photo-Etched Parts & Cannon Barrel Set
Expensive, but...
Hope this helps,
Rui

Dade may I ask where you got your A/M for your ship?
Thanks Rui, but your right it is expensive I really cant afford $300.00 for that set
Thanks in advance
