This injection-moulded 1/700 assembly kit portrays the aircraft carrier Akagi, released as a new-version within Fujimi's Fune Next No.4 series to reflect improved tooling and surface detail.
The vessel began as a battlecruiser hull converted into an aircraft carrier under the Washington Naval Treaty. Commissioned in the late 1920s, Akagi served prominently in early Pacific operations until being disabled during the 1942 Midway engagement. The ship's conversion and operational role influenced carrier architecture and naval air tactics during that era.
Offered as a new-version updating earlier tooling, this kit highlights revised hull and flight deck detailing relative to past releases. The injection plastic format is intended for model builders who will undertake painting, decaling and rigging for display. External fittings and superstructure components are supplied to enable an accurate deck arrangement and silhouette at 1/700 scale. Expect to invest time in finishing work to achieve a fully realised model.
A concise new-version edition that upgrades surface detail for a 1/700 Akagi, aimed at modellers and collectors seeking a credible historical display.
