$75 USD comes out at around $100 Aussie which is inline with most kits of this size over here. Not a bad price at all. Does it also inclued PE parts?
Still waiting to hear from anyone who has used actual wood for the deck on a Plastic model…anyone?
She’s in Yokosuka. I recall that just outside of the Main Gate of the Naval Base, if you turned left, there was a small break in the buildings and you could see her 'way out there on a long pier or mole of some kind. I think you head up the highway (18??) for about 4 or 5 clicks, and then head somewhere to your left. Sorry I don’t have better directions: it’s been 20 years since I was stationed there. A pre-dreadnought buff, and I didn’t even realize the Mikasa was there until about 3 weeks before I got transferred. I never did see her. What a tragedy!
Anyway, got my Mikasa on order too. Can’t wait to start on her…right after I finish that Aurora cruiser that I started in 1980…
