I hate to be the "Sour grape" but this kit was advertised late last year at recommended retail price circa RM 50,000.00 excluding shipping ... so before anybody has any bright ideas do see the "caution" label.... ;) :lol: :lol:

By the way, tis kit is manufactured by the same guys who did the 35th "DORA" .... :wacko: :blink:

Since we are on the topic of ships, have a look at this gentleman's 72nd build under the topic some aircraft and a ship. So no need to buy that Yamato lah .... :D :D

The gentleman only took 5.5 years to build this monster ... perhaps there's a challanger here?? :wacko: :wacko: :unsure: :P

The 1/144 Yamato need no assembling. It's sold as a completed model. Waiting time is 5~6 months.
