If you go to the Italeri web site they have posted a photo of the hull mold and the bottom side of a hull shot. That’s a big mold and a big boat. It doesn’t look like there will be any sprue on the hull. Take a look.
I came across this too along with the review of the Italeri kit.

I’ think I’ll wait for the 1/35th to come out & will detail the heck outta it[:P]
Has a release date been established yet for this kit? The last I heard was late this year. I was hoping someone knew of a more detailed timeline.
