This will be a fairly long build for a 1/350 scale kit for me seeing it will involve the most PE morso than the IJN Chikuma heavy Cruiser I did some time back.The first order of business was joining the upper and lower hull the fit was a so-so some sanding and drilling out the portholes a couple hundred.The Eduard kit has pieces for a new bow somehow I vaguely remember a collision and a new bow fit might be the wrong ship?Anyway just a test fit as you can see.I have my Bunker Studios and I am sure more will be inbound at some point.I will need to select my piece of wood this week cut and trim her out on the router table and mount the hull. 
After the initial launch she was converted to the Atlantic Bow.
