Moving on to 1/350 scale, this set from Lion Roar is intended for any WWII IJN ship that had a catapult. And this includes some destroyers besides the usual cruisers and battleships. Apparently they were all built to basically the same design. The set includes two of these and they are total replacements for the kit parts. Options are provided in the type of shuttle that is used. It appears that there are two for central float planes and a larger one for twin float aircraft.

A full set of instructions is included to be sure you will have no problems. The sheet also includes a list of recommended tools.

Thanks to a near explosion of new 1/350 IJN ship kits in the last couple of years, this set should find a lot of use.
