I just picked up the LionRoar set for the Hasegawa 350th IJN Mikasa. It is stunning! Nine frets of Photo-etch, with stunning detail. Scaled chain. Turned barrels for not only the main turret guns, but also the secondary casemate guns, a total of 18 barrels, all beutifully tapered and hollowed. The PE railings has a slightest hint of a sag, perfectly done! Five page instructions, clearly illustrated, in full english completes the package, which is encased in a sturdy box. It's pricy, but then again, when was the last time anything in 350th wasn't ?!? ( $105CDN )

Lion's Roar is definitely blowing the other PE sets out of the water. I got the one for the North Carolina ( I was able to pick it up at a discount thank goodness. It was a tad more expense than a WEM, but had twice as much stuff)). It has the gun tubes for primary and secondary, propellers, anchor chain, and a ton of frets that give you detailed radars, catapults, cranes and all sorts of fixures and railings. I imagine when the Hood and Alabama come out they'll produce sets for these. I wonder if GMM, Tom's, and WEM are going to step up to the plate.
