Hasegawa

Good fit modelers. Hasegawa is pretty reliable for quality.

Kaga... Carrier Division 1 well that pretty much covers her history. No seriously Kaga saw the Pearl harbor raid and Indian Ocean actions before being blasted to a blazing hulk at the hands of US dive bombers at the Battle of Midway. As far as the Hasegawa kit of Kaga goes it is an old one but I suspect that seeing as how this ship was the pride of the Japanese Navy I think that a little extra was put into it. It is a fairly well detailed kat and should build into a good looking Kaga from the box. If you want, there are heaps of goodies to pour on it too. My only gripe is a rather puny air group in the box. Hasegawa could have put an extra sprue of aircraft in a fleet carrier kit!

Exquisite workmanship

Good build quality, wish it would come painting guide, japanese instructions not a big problem as soon figure what the pictures are trying to tell you. Is missing a flight deck piece, so will have to figure something out maybe model clay or something.

I've been building naval model for 8-10 years now and I think this waterline set is one of the best 1/700 kit. the parts fit well but require some filling. Detail is very clear even the instruction is in Japanese. The type of plastic takes paint well, and the parts are detail compare for most 1/700. Shipping was very fast consider over sea. They said 4 weeks, but I got it in 2. Not very often you see a thank you note and a well packaged shipment from an Amazon purchase but they have it all. It's nice that people appreciate your business. I give it a 5 stars because I had a good experience.

I think I bought it for a pretty good deal after I look all around for her, the kit itself was much less detail than her sister Akagi(also made by Hasegawa) cause it was the build in 09, and Akagi was build 2015(the model, not the ship). Over all is ok, and just like everyone else was saying that the runway needs to be painted instead of applying decals. I hated that they put tape on the box when they shipped to me( I want the cover box to be a part of the collection as well). But again, Over all I’m looking forward to build it.

Buen detalle, instrucciones claras

Obviously a return but it was complete and the discount was fair.
