1/350 IJN Maya (Aoshima)

This is the original version of the Maya with the standard Aoshima Etch sets used and the Lion Roar sealed port holes added. The figures are from Pit Road and all 6 of the 12.7cm guns replaced by the Veteran Models sets. Of the 4 cruisers in this class this is my favorite being a Heavy AA version. Another very enjoyable build.
