1/350 Akagi Aircraft Set for Historical Modelling

The Hasegawa 1/350 Akagi Carrier-Based Aircraft Set adds the carrier-borne types associated with the IJN Akagi to your model projects. These small-scale airframes are intended to complement ship kits and enhance historical presentations.

Historical Role and Visual Impact

Akagi was a pivotal carrier in early Pacific campaigns and its air group defined much of its capability. Adding these aircraft helps convey the operational character of the vessel and supports accurate period dioramas.

Construction Hints and Finishing Notes

Handle tiny components with tweezers and use thin cement to avoid obscuring panel detail. Fine decal work and subtle weathering will improve authenticity and lift the overall presentation.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for realism

What does this aircraft set include?

The set contains a variety of carrier aircraft models relevant to the Akagi; consult the included guide for a breakdown of individual types and quantities.

Are decals and markings accurate?

Decals supplied are intended to match period markings; modellers seeking alternative schemes can use aftermarket decal sheets for additional choices.

What tools are recommended for assembly?

Essential tools include fine cutters, precision tweezers, modelling cement and a selection of small brushes or an airbrush for painting small details.

Is this suitable for beginners?

While beginners can build this set, some experience with small-scale assembly helps; simpler practise projects are useful before attempting intricate 1/350 components.

How should models be stored after completion?

Store finished models in a dust-free display case or covered cabinet and avoid direct sunlight to preserve paint and decals over time.
