I just received this from Freetime Hobbies. Gallery version, well packed and arrived unscathed. I have two Nichimo kits of this in 1/200. Those hull moldings are significantly thicker and heavier than this latest (Trumpeter/Gallery) release, which might explain why there is so much interior bracing already installed on the Gallery hull. Exterior detail of hull far superior to Nichimo version. From the instructions I've viewed, everything looks far superior to Nichimo in detail and accuracy. Only nitpick is where is the rigging scheme? Otherwise, what a kit! Wondering if my Artwox decking set for the Nichimo might possibly work on this kit.
