    Scalemates suggests that the Hobbyboss kit is a rebox of the Wave kit with some new parts.
    Wave Corporation model kit in scale 1:200, BB-001 is a rebox released in 2016 | Contents, Previews, Reviews, History + Marketplace | Battleship Mikasa | EAN: 4943209590018

        Looks that way to me Brian; if I'm reading Scalemates correctly it's the same kit, with some new parts, for half the price.

            If you check out both kits on the Scalemates site, you will be able to download the instructions and see what you are getting, and even get a sprue look.
