Usually they have those when kit is finally released, but as it is released and I saw none listed in the HObby World Japan stuff I was wndering. I need to sit back and recoup for a bit courtesy of the Mogami so it's all good.

I agree. The PE is what makes a decent kit a great kit. Half the appeal of the Akagi, for me, was the PE. Plastic just doesn't have the same sense of scale.

I'm passing on the Shokaku. Now if someone can just do a 1/350 Hiryu or Soryu. A Ryujo wouldn't be bad either.

It's only a matter of time before the Zuikaku, Hiryu, Kaga, and Soryu come out. I'm surprized they haven't dropped 3 or 4 classes of DD's yet. Right now I know they've done the Kagero class to death. I think nother class is out but can't for the life of me reember which one

There is an Akitsuki of the Akitsuki class from Trumpeter and an Suzutsuki by Mono Chrome, same class.

Is there a Kagero class in 1942 appearance other than the 1940 Hasegawa Yukikaze around?
