I can't comment on that specific kit, but the Fujimi and Aoshima kits I have built have been very good. Look at the reviews section and you can see a selection of Fujimi kits.

I built the Fujimi Haruna a few years ago. Excellent model with few problems. Avoid Fujimi PE like the Bubonic plague though, their instructions suck

I was refering to the photo etch instruction sheet here John, the instructions fro the Haruna model were excellent. My blog is still on-line here: https://modelshipwrights.kitmaker.net/forums/162751&page=1. It will give you an idea of the detail Fujimi included.
Cheers,
Julian
