Thanks Mark, I am as a matter of fact, just about to start my own build using this set, so I hope to start providing some insight into its application shortly. I'm thinking this will keep me busy all year long, but I'm pretty excited about using it. I think you should be able to find this considerably under the list price mentioned here. Worth it no matter what..you can never have enough PE...the other Yamato sets will all get used on one project or another. Cheers, Doug

That is a great looking set. It does seem that just about everything is covered in it. Looking forward to your build and your impressions on it then.

too bad they took the props out. A pricey set, but if you want the ultimate Yamato this is the way to go. I've still got 1 left in the stash, so i might pick this set up in the future. Lucky model has it for $130 with free shipping
