The Kamikawa Maru was one of nine merchant ships converted into seaplane carriers between 1937 and 1942. Each tender was equipped with two catapults on their aft well deck and carried eight aircraft. The ships were equipped on their bow and stern with single 6in guns and AA guns, 2 13.2mm, by their bridges.

This should be a kit most welcomed by IJN fans! I wonder if it is a re-issue of the Skywaves kit?

This is not a re-pop of the Skywave kit but, a all NEW tooling by Aoshima.
It is a welcome addition. The Skywave kits are too short in length. Hopefully Aoshimas are correct.
