Aiya....!! This time I really die liao....

As I always dream to be able to build and own a 350 scale IJN KONGO class battleship.... B4 this Hasegawa announce their Nov launching 1:350 NAGOTA, which already got me exicted for months even planning trying to shuffle "funds" ready to purchase one... But prize quoted on Hasegawa Nagota is really too high for me lar...

Now Fujimi is planning to launch the 1:350 KONGO class battleship!! The excitement of my dream comes true is just too much for me lar...

Atleast from the look of it, KONGO still need quite some time to launch into market, mean I have more time to collect funding lar HEHEHE... The modelling god upstair must be really good to me :D :lol: :P

One way to cut cost is not to buy the PE from them. White Ensign has produced Nagato PE for less than 50 pound. It contain a A4 size fret with another one smaller.
You got your choice and be smart.

Arigato Low-san....

Are you taking "pre-order" for the Kongo ? :rolleyes:

Also anychance of WEM's Nagato set coming to KL cos I am pretty sure lots of people will be looking to get one.... ;)

Mr. Low taking pre-order KONGO?

I'll take one. This time I've collected sufficient "ammo" for this ship :D

Aoshima's 4 ships were selling very well here. I don't see why Fujimi's Kongo is not coming to our shore.
In fact, I did place my pre-order to my source this morning. I'm also cannot "tahan".
White Ensign is alway our priority PE supplier. Place your order for the Nagato if you don't want to miss it.

Mr Low - can tolong bulk "pre order" the Kongo ah?
