That is mind-blowing, mate! Surely 1/144 scale-level of detail there!

I had a chance to see it today in Bytom. Believe me, photos do not show its real beauty. Simply excellent!

Question, when you are done with Kako are you going to sell the patent of the set to one of the big companies or are you thinking in joining the competition?


Jose :wave_1:


Well... I'm not preparing any manual for that. And I'm not even sure if there is an interest for such kind of set....



I'll tell you right now if you did put this on the market I'd pick two of them up to do the Kako and Furutaka. If you could modify the fret for the Aoba and Kinugasa for a 1942 fit, I'd get both of them also. SO... that is FOUR sets you can count on me to get.
