Just got the kit and although I have not gone through it with a fine tooth comb it looks like a good effort. What struck me is this may be the first ship kit I could do without any aftermarket. Trumpeter has been steadily increasing its photoetch in kits and this is the best yet. Still I'll likely get a full photo-etch catapult, likely metal 15 inch barrels Very Fire cable reels and Black Cat anti-aircraft replacements. Still debating on whether I should wait for a wooden deck. If they do another ship of the class I'll likely get it.
