It is about time that a premium ship model manufacture produced this class of crusier. With the large number of craft in the class it should be a big hit. The kit is molder very well with very little flash. I like the tan deck. The instructions are in Japanese but are easy to follow. So is the painting guide. I can see ordering more of this 1/700 kit to build other ships in the class. How about some US cruisers? Excellent kit. Keep up the good work Aoshima.

Another disappointment from Aoshima. Kit is listed as 1/700 scale but is closer to 1/730. Model is also rather lacking in details and not up to todays standards. After waiting nearly 40 years for this class to appear in plastic in 1/700 I have to say it really could have been much better. At least Aoshima could make an effort to get the scale correct.
