Bit more stock, 1/200 Yamato part of middle superstructure and funnel. Fujimi 1/350 Fuso and Yamashiro pagoda bridges. The most impressive bridges ever, totally bonkers. The boxs are the same for some reason Also very good ship cradle for 1/700 & 1/350. Revolves on the base and tilts.- BattleshipBob

As far as i know Very Fire only make there own new kits. I have a few in the attic fleet, Yamato, Musashi, Takao. The moulding and details are excellent. The deluxe kits are expensive but you get a lot. Surprised to see another Bismarck but like Tigers and Spitfires, they sell.- BattleshipBob
