Tamiya models are unique in their lifelike comparison to the original. Detail is unmatched.

Had this battleship before. this time i'm planning on painting all of the structure. looking forward to building it

Alright, another ship finished. This is a great kit., there are very litle problems with it. I actually cant think of any doing this review. This ship is of great quality, the parts all fit together very nicely (required very little sanding, etc),and the instructions are exceptionally great. Instructions include details of where specifically parts are supposed to attach, history of the ship (which was just cool), and very specific paint scheme instructions along with 2 schemes. One thing i can think of that i did not like is that the main turret mounts did not secure the turret barrels, so when the ship is moved etc, the barrels would fall out of the spots inside the mount. They're easy to put back in but i like knowing parts are not going to fall out in my finished products. All around, great kit.
