Fujimi FJ-45194 1/700 Scale Full-Hull Hiryu Plastic Model Kit  [FJ-45194]

Hiryu 1/700 Full-Hull Special Kit — Fujimi FJ-45194

This 1/700 full-hull plastic model kit recreates the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Hiryu and is released as a special kit that supplies finer external detail parts.

The carrier Hiryu was commissioned in the late 1930s and operated during the early Pacific War. She participated in major carrier operations and was critically damaged and sunk during the Battle of Midway in June 1942, reflecting aspects of interwar carrier design under wartime conditions.

The kit is presented in full-hull format for display, rather than as a waterline model. The release includes photo-etched detail parts FH-25 EX-1 to enhance deck fittings and superstructure components. Builders should take care when fitting delicate etched metal items to plastic parts.

Typical assembly requires standard modelling tools and adhesives suited to plastic and metal photo-etched parts. Rigging, painting, and finishing instructions are not provided here; consult period references for accurate color and aircraft complements if you intend a historically faithful result.

A 1/700 full-hull representation of Hiryu furnished with photo-etched details, aimed at modellers who prioritise external accuracy and display quality.
