I own two of these, plus Aoshima's version, in preparation for converting into her sistership, Musashi, as she was originally outfitted in 1942. I am glad that Musashi was discovered in 2015, and hope her half sister, Shinano, also will some day be found. I hope I can get Pontos' iteration as well, even though it is far more expensive. However there is much less waste, no real parts to sand off, much of the model relies on the photo etched parts. Hope you enjoy the model, and build. Take care, and all the best.
