"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.

"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.
