Takao was the lead ship of her class, commissioned in 1932 with ten 20 cm guns and a towering bridge structure. She fought in the Philippines and Dutch East Indies campaigns and at the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in November 1942.
She was torpedoed by USS Darter at the start of the Battle of Leyte Gulf and limped to Singapore, where she stayed for the rest of the war. She was scuttled by the Royal Navy in 1946.

Takao 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.
