If I remember correctly, the Hoshino is what the NAC Huron light cruiser
used to be called, similarly the standard NAC frigate was previously
called
the Miyazaki. There has been a distinct 'racial cleansing' of NAC ship
names to remove unwanted Japanese influences (presumably to open the way
for a separate range of Japanese ships sometime in the future). Some of
my
FT models go back a long way, I bought my first Hoshinos from Jon at a
show
in Lewisham in about '91 when they were initially released. I remember
him
showing me the Ark Royal model and being blown away by it.
