Hiei was the second of the Kongō class, built at Yokosuka and commissioned in 1914. She was demilitarized as a training ship under the London Naval Treaty, then rebuilt in the late 1930s as a fast battleship and served as the Emperor's review ship.
She escorted the Pearl Harbor strike force in 1941. On the night of 13 November 1942 off Guadalcanal she was badly damaged by American cruisers and destroyers, and she was scuttled after air attacks the next day, the first Japanese battleship lost in the war.

Hiei runs two shafts, so most builds use two drive ESCs, a pump ESC and a regulator, which takes $20 off the kit. Each button opens that component in the store.
Gun boards, solenoids, tanks and pumps are not part of the combo.
