Chibimaru Ship No.20 Hyuga from Fujimi: Stylised Naval Model

The Fujimi Chibimaru Ship No.20 Hyuga turns a historic Japanese battleship into an attractive, compact model with playful proportions. As part of Fujimi's Chibimaru collection, this kit emphasises character and display appeal over strict scale fidelity, giving enthusiasts a neat, collectible interpretation of the Hyuga.

Ease of Assembly and Presentation

This kit's snap-fit construction keeps assembly clean and straightforward while preserving the main features that define the vessel. Builders who prefer short, satisfying projects will appreciate how quickly this model comes together and how well it presents on a shelf or in a cabinet.

Brief Historical Note

Hyuga began service in 1917 and later underwent modifications that changed her wartime role. The Chibimaru rendition acknowledges that story while offering a compact, decorative model for fans of naval subjects.
