Disregarding scale, does anybody have the skinny on which kit is the best out of this lot;
1/350 trumpeter atago
1/700 skywave atago
1/700 aoshima atago
These are all recent toolings, but I only need one. I plan on picking up the Hyuga DDH in the corresponding scale as well.
Yeah i'm working on the Trumpeter(Pit Road) Atago now in 350th and it's a great kit. I also built the 700 one from Pit Road.
The 700 one is engineered perfect and is better than the Aoshima one in my Opinion.
As for the Hyuga they are about equal. The Pit Road one offers full hull and the Aoshima is WL only.
The Aoshima one's SH 60 are trash. The Pit Road one's are very nice on the other hand.
When i buy JMSDF i always go to Pit Road first. Thats just me though a nut for Japanese subjects.
Also for decks of the JMSDF, i use gunship grey with a couple of drops of light grey.
The JMSDF decks are lighter than US decks. They are just slightly darker than the color of the ship.
Hope this helps.
