 Great review on this kit from www.steelnavy.com

Takao was the lead ship of the  Takao-class heavy cruiser, sister ship of TAKAO, armed with ten 8" guns,
four 4.7" guns, eight torpedo tubes and assorted anti-aircraft guns. IJN Takao was designed with the
Imperial Japanese Navy strategy of the "Decisive Battle" in mind, and built in 1932 by Mitsubishi's shipyard in Nagasaki.
