IJN Takao book recommendation
Kagero publishing has published a new 3D CGI book on the IJN Takao that would be a very useful tool for anyone building a model of this ship. It is not a technical history and it has very little written information on the ship. Its real value lays in a hundred CGI images of all aspects of the ship as she appeared in her final days. Additionally there are some nice 1/350 plans included in a separate insert. The book was published with the help of Janusz Skulski, author of the Anatomy of the Ship volume on Takao. If anyone is like me and sometimes has difficulty translating a 2D drawing into a 3D image this book will be extremely valuable.

Re: IJN Takao book recommendation
I see they have a North Carolina book out as well. Didn't someone post a photo of a book on the Essex class that was supposed to be similar?
