The Japanese Battleship Ise: 16054 (Super Drawings in 3D) Paperback – Import, 31 December 2017

A must have if anyone is contemplating modeling the ISE or HYUGA after they were converted to hybrid battleship-carriers.

nicht nur für Modellbauer sehr informativ.

Read also the other critical reviews.The introduction was as usual written in poor English; worse, it was incomprehensible in places, even self-contradictory.Why doesn't Kagero get itself more professionally organised, in this regard?

I generally like the series, but this is one of the weaker offerings. The rocket launchers are not shown accurately. The book shows 28 barrels in 7 rows of 4 tubes. The actual 28 tube launcher had 3 rows of 6 tubes and 2 rows of 5 tubes. Hans Lengerer's Japanese Hybrid Warships has a better depiction of the launcher (and the ship in general). Similarly, the upper main mast is shown as a simple pole and not the 3 pronged configuration that is clear in the photos of the ship in 1944 and 1946. These and other issues listed elsewhere seem like easily avoidable error. I kept my copy because I like the renderings despite the imperfections.
