For the price this looks like an excellent kit! Things fade after 30 years but I recall of the 1/700 Waterline series, I usually preferred Fujimi over the other Big Four.

Nice added etch with this! Despite the few things Anthony brought up, it looks like something worth plating around with at some point!

I'll have to add it to the list!!

I seem to recall, probably 40 years ago there was a kit of the yamato that was massive something like 4-5 ft long! Always longed to build that but was a poor kid.

You have the 1/200 version now to look for Chris! Comes in around 51 inches in length! Of course big size still means big price!!

The attenpt to put a comment direct under the review went wrong
so here it is:
Agree with the review, got the full hull version, without PEs. The kit is not bad but it has a lot of sinkholes, not only on the small stuff, but on the hull sides as well. Will be a challenge to correct this.
