I asked MR T the same as those builds above are all of that kit but he says to look at the advert pics thats all he can give on the matter,,

I hope myself that it is.. The Hasagawa kit is £300 plus you need to buy each of the P/E kits to go with it then the aircraft are seperate too. Works out around £500 for the kit.. And its smaller 1/350 where as ours is 1/250..

Hope this helps...
Akagi was given two funnels on the starboard side. The larger, forward funnel was downturned 120° with its mouth facing the sea and the smaller one exhausted vertically a little past the edge of the flight deck. The forward funnel was fitted with a water-cooling system to reduce the turbulence caused by hot exhaust gases and a cover that could be raised to allow the exhaust gasses to escape if the ship developed a severe list and the mouth of the funnel touched the sea.
