Like most of HBG�s new 3D sculpts, this is the way to bring any historical strategy board game to life with historical accuracy. The detail work on the Unryu class helps to distinguish it from the other 10 Japanese fleet carriers. If you love this style of game, from Axis and Allies, Blood Bath Rules to the supremely complex and amazing Global War �36, these sculpts will only make you want to invest more in your board. Not only to bring you personal enjoyment, but also as a teaching tool for kids and grandkids. His newer sculpts include a solid bottom on the hulls to help with magnetizing so the 3D planes can have a more solid connection to the deck. Basically you can�t go wrong. There are only 2-3 vendors I trust to purchase things for our board, to ensure quality, durability and detail. HBG is the source for almost every gaming need.

While this one isn't as detailed as some of the other carriers, it's got a distinct look to it, and enough detail to keep most people happy. Overall, it's not a bad looking little piece. It's sturdy enough to handle painting and stand up well to handling.
