Fujimi 43198 1/700 IJN Battleship Haruna Accurate Scale Model

The Fujimi 43198 presents the IJN Battleship Haruna in 1/700 scale, suited to modellers who prioritise historical accuracy and compact display pieces. The kit balances detail with manageable assembly at this scale.

Historical Notes and Model Accuracy

As a member of the Kongō-class later rated as battleships, Haruna combined high speed with heavy armament in her service life. The kit aims to reflect these traits through proportionate superstructure and armament layouts.

Assembly Features and Detail Parts

Included are precise photo-etched parts, a sealed wood deck and metal gun barrels designed to uplift surface detail. These components allow modelmakers to create sharper fittings and a more convincing deck surface when finishing the build.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched, wood, and metal components
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for added realism

What level of modelling experience suits this Fujimi 43198 kit?

This kit is best for intermediate to advanced modellers due to small parts and photo-etch work. Newcomers can build it but should expect a steeper learning curve.

How do I maintain the metal gun barrels during painting?

Degrease metal parts before priming, use a suitable metal primer, then apply thin coats of enamel or acrylic paint. Masking can protect exposed metal during assembly.

Can I display this model with other 1/700 ships?

Yes, the 1/700 scale is standard for many naval collections, making Haruna compatible with other ships for group displays or dioramas when painted to a matching scheme.
