Wow, that's really exciting! Pairs nicely with the VF Des Moines. Looks like it'll come in regular and deluxe versions - no PE in the regular version. Given the lack of generic '50s era PE sets, the deluxe version will almost certainly have to be purchased.

If the actual question here is "are these new molds?", I'm inclined to say no. At least for the two Fujimi kits, their pages already include a link to the versions released in 2022 without the PE (under "Related Products"). So relative to those, not new molds (but certainly new compared to whatever generation was before the big 2010s revamps) For the Pit-Road and Aoshima, I see no indications they're anything but re-releases under a different product code. Even the Pit-Road Takao has details in the description that indicate what the old product codes were. Pit-road and Fujimi's Takao class kits are pretty good and there's no need to re-mold them in the foreseeable future.

What is the deal with these Takao-class cruisers being listed as “new” by Hobby Search? Pit-Road/Sky Wave Atago 1941/44Pit-Road/Sky Wave Maya 1944Pit-Road/Sky Wave Takao 1942/44Aoshima Takao 1944Fujimi Atago 1941/44 Full Hull + PEFujimi Chōkai Full Hull + PE (Can’t tell what year, as it uses the same photo as the Atago)These seem to have been led by the Fujimi Takao 1944 Full Hull + PE that actually looks pretty good (pity that no one does a 1941/42 version with the separate funnel-piping and that kind of PE detail. But I can’t tell if the other Takao-class ships from Fujimi are based upon the same thing (The 1944 Takao that went on sale last year). The photos that do show-up on the Pit-Road and Aoshima Ships don’t look terribly “exciting” and like they are from molds cut in the 1990s in some cases. With the Flyhawk and Yamashita ships showing-up with such an enormous leap in detail… What is going on here? I didn’t see these mentioned in the thread, but could have just missed them. MB
