Gakken vol. 65 (Hiei)

[J. Soca]

I just got it today and it�s a fine publication if you ask me the only setback it has is the language barrier since all is written in japanese ( except for some #s and a couple words). i don't own the Gakken 21 however From some pictures i�ve seen in the past i could say unlike its predecessor this new edition gives a better coverage on all 4 Kongo class battleships, there are some beautiful diagrams and pictures pertaining to all 4. it's great seeing all 4 pagoda and rear structure diagrams next to each other it really helps a lot to understand how significantly different they were from each other. In addiction, the Kongo and Haruna models from volume 21 and even a 1/200 scale Kirishima can be seen on 2 pages, getting all these scales together was a great idea IMO. The 1/100 scale Hiei is phenomenal, shots were taken from all angles and there are plenty of close- ups all over the ship. If any of you guys here didn't get to buy volume 21 now is the chance to buy something perhaps even better, don�t think it twice guys these books sell awfully fast.
