I've always been a Tamiya model fan and their model of the USS Indianapolis is excellent. When building models, I have always appreciated the detail and fit of the Tamiya brand. This one does not disappoint. Detailing is superb and the fit could not have been better. How good? Well, my wife summed it up when she told me she never heard me cuss once! Take your time and enjoy the build because you will certainly be ecstatic over the finished product.
