Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa - Authentic Battleship Model Kit for Modelmakers  [HA-49151]

Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa - faithful small scale battleship kit

The Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa kit recreates a notable Imperial Japanese Navy warship with precision. As a pre-dreadnought active in the Russo-Japanese War and at the Battle of Tsushima, the Mikasa is an important subject for maritime modelling. The kit presents the ship in 1/700 scale for compact but detailed displays.

Historical context and collector appeal

Commissioned in 1902 and serving as Admiral Togo's flagship, Mikasa stands out in naval history. Hasegawa's tooling reproduces the ship's profile and fittings accurately, making it a desirable piece for specialist collections and museum-style model shelves.

Construction and recommended workflow

Builders who focus on precision will appreciate the kit's component layout. Carefully remove parts from the sprues, test-fit pieces before glueing, and follow the instructions for best alignment. Painting and small-scale detailing will elevate the finished model.
