It was cheaper at $160 including shipping than I imagine a Trumpeter kit would be and the detail in some places is pretty thick, especially around the gun/radar/gun director tubs as well as the main gun turrets. However there are some really ice detail in others. The main superstructure is one piece and pretty impressive as is the one piece Walrus float plane. I just need Micro Master to do some gun director upgrades and of course start shipping to the US again
