I thought slide-molding was a real thing. Did they get creative with the term or just add the "U" to be fancy?
It is a real thing, and the u is non-USA English spelling :) However, Dragon presented it in the 1990s or so as if this was some major breakthrough in model kit design, when all you have to do is look at 1970s Tamiya and Italeri kits to see exactly the same thing already in use (mainly for tank lower hulls).
 
Today's arrivals, really pleased with all of them. The Dragon kit is the longest I have gone from pre-ordering to taking delivery; I think it was a couple of years. It my first Dragon kit and I went for it due to the moulding Tech involved. Loving the fact I won't have seam lines on the fuselage. Got to admit torn about building it as we know now it's one of the last, if not the actual last, new tool kit Dragon released before leaving the market.
A Ryefield Full Interior King Tiger is something I wanted for a while to compare (and build) against the Takom full interior King Tiger I already have in my stash.
Finally the Decals are for my family of F104, particularly the Japanese Eiko versions I intend to build

Looking forward to your yamato build. I have something similar. Pantherman

That 1:350 is a glorious kit. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

My 1:450 is going to be my fall project. Still working on getting my skills back up to speed with the Tripe and M10. I am really looking forward to the Yamato. For some reason that ship caught my eye as a kid and I always thought it was the most beautiful warship ever launched.
