It took about two months to model this battleship. I painted the ship with lacquers from Gunje Sangyo and enamels from Tamiya. I dressed up the ship with the etching parts from Fujimi and Lionroar and the wooden deck sheet from Fujimi. Optional parts were used to enhance the detail of the anti-aircraft guns and the boats.
The quality of the kit was a little bit of disappointment. The fit was not good, which made me spending extra time with the assembly.
