"A Real Gem"
Charles (Westfield, NY)
Great model, good fit, clear instructions and if you go with the dazzle camo, a real showpiece for your collection. See the pictures. I used a small piece of clear plastic to suspend the tail of the aircraft being catapulted, and added radio towers and (some) rigging after taking these photos.

"1/350 Gambier Bay"
jbuchman
Hasegawa makes a nice kit that is sturdy with a lot of bracing for the hull. It weighs more than many kits. It came with a nice color diagram with a mask pattern for her dazzle paint scheme. The decals were good except the 3's tore but I was able to piece them together. The flight deck fit well to the hull and the aircraft (9) were well detailed. I used a White Ensign photo-etch set with some Eduard figures since it doesn't come with any detail-up parts. One drawback was the lack of a hanger deck and an inability to make one with all the hull bracing. Hasegawa also includes a detailed history of the ship with a color poster of her in the Battle of San Bernadino Strait.
