Gents,

in this particular kit you get all the parts to build the 3 Yamato Main Gun Turrets.
That's nice. But when you look close you see that there are 3 sets of parts to build ONLY Turret Nr 1.
And with Turret Nr 1, I'm talking about the Main Gun Turret right in front of the Bridge Superstructure. See Picture 001 "Main Turret "in annex.
Typical for this Main Gun Turret is that it's installed on a higher cylindrical pedestal that allows it to fire its guns "above " the front 46cm Gun. See blue arrow in annex Pic.
In Pic 002 ,the Fujimi instructions show you to build the main turret with the higher pedestal (3 separate parts H1+H2+H3 ).
And in the Fujimi kit-inventory the parts for the Main Turret Higher pedestal are also present 3 times. See Pic 003 : parts H(x3).
My point : what is the added value if the instructions make you build 3 times Turret Nr 1 ( with parts H1-2-3) if you don't get the required pedestal parts to build Turret Nr 2 and 3 ?
The Nr 2&3 pedestal is much lower than Turret Nr 1 pedestal (for obvious reasons of course), so you should get also the lower pedestal parts....
I know the instructions are in Japanese, but after checking the instructions and the box content, I see nowhere parts to make 2 lower pedestals for Turret Nr 2 & 3.

Anybody already noticed the same problem with this kit ?
