Hammel's three volume set on Guadalcanal goes into her action in lovely detail. The Aoshima parts are pretty cheesy. I used brass rod for the gun barrels and all of the AAA came from the Hasegawa WW2 set. Even the planes came from that set.

The only thing Aoshima is good for is the basic frame work. The windows were all brass ladder stock (700 and 350th scale ladders).

Cheers,
