Hasegawa 1/700 Akagi - Three Flight Deck Carrier Representation

The Hasegawa 1/700 Akagi model presents the Three Flight Deck Japanese Aircraft Carrier in a scaled, buildable form. Known for its unusual deck arrangement and its role in early World War II naval actions, the Akagi is rendered here with parts intended to reflect the original ship's silhouette and operational appearance.

Why Collect the Akagi in 1/700 Scale

Collectors and modellers choose the Akagi for its mix of distinctive design and historical impact. As part of the Kido Butai, the carrier influenced early-war carrier tactics. The Hasegawa kit allows study of that structure at a scale suitable for crowded display cabinets.

Practical Assembly Notes

Assembly is straightforward for experienced builders but requires fine handling of small components. Use thin adhesives and careful painting to avoid obscuring details. Patience during fit and finish will produce a convincing model ready for display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for realistic finish

Is this kit accurate enough for a historical display?

Yes. The kit captures the main structural elements of the Akagi and is suitable for historical displays when carefully assembled and painted.

Which scale aircraft match this kit?

Aircraft models in 1/700 scale or suitably sized 1/700 accessories are appropriate for flight deck displays and to add realism to the carrier.

Are decals provided for deck markings?

Check the kit contents on the box or instructions. If decals are not included, aftermarket decal sheets can supply period-appropriate markings for the Akagi.

How should I store the kit before building?

Keep sprues and instructions in a dry, dust-free box and avoid extreme temperatures. Organise small parts in labelled containers to simplify the build process.
