I have purchased the kit online but it has not arrived yet.I noticed from the box art however that this model does not represent the yamato in her last configurationbefore her fatal struggle to blast our troops off the island of Okinawa in April,1945.In think the ship in the box shows yamato during the Battle of Lete Gulf, with only a few antiaircraft weapons on the etreme edge of her port and starboard sides.I thought this was rather odd,because the Tamiya model in 1-350 scale shows the ship in her last confiquration WITH MANY MORE ANTI-AIRCRACT WEAPONS. I can only guess that either Hasagawa was ignorent of what their own nations ship looked like before she met her end(WHICH I FIND DISTURBING) OR THEY WANTED TO POTRAY HER AT HER AT THE HEIGHT OF HER GLORY WHERE SHE ACTUALLY USED HER GUNS IN BATTLE.WHEN I BUILD THE KIT I SHALL WRITE AN EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW,AND LET YOU KNOW MY OPINION
