The Fujimi 42162 Chibimaru Ship No.3 Kongo converts the historic Kongo battleship into a compact, stylised model that fits the Chibimaru collection ethos. As a non-scale kit, it focuses on a recognisable silhouette and approachable construction that appeals to both collectors and casual builders. The original Kongo, dating from 1913, remains an interesting subject for naval modelling fans.
This Q-style kit simplifies the battleship's complex forms into a friendly, easy-to-assemble model. While it does not pursue strict scale accuracy, it retains key visual cues of the Kongo so the finished piece reads well as the famous warship. The snap-fit format minimises glue and speeds up completion.
Ideal for a compact collection, this model looks good on a bookshelf or in a display case alongside other Chibimaru releases. Its stylised proportions add personality to a naval display and make it a good pick for mixed-size collections.
