I plan to get one for my Nagato. I opted to get that deluxe set for the Kongo because of the redone flight deck. Glad Loren popped this one out, it is definitely a very reasonablely priced set which has lots of value. Sure it is nice to have form fitted guard rails, but with a set of calipers (arc compass) you can with a little effort cut your own. I've already typed up my order sheet on this one (added the SF set to it s well). Plan to wait a few weeks to see how my bills settle out with all the bakorders and other what nots are still wai ting to come in.
