NX-15 Fujimi FJ-46036 1/700 IJN Fast Battleship Haruna 1944 Plastic Model Kit  [FJ-46036]

Haruna 1944 — Fujimi 1/700 NX-15 External Version

This 1/700 scale plastic model kit captures the Imperial Japanese Navy fast battleship Haruna as she appeared in 1944 during Sho Ichigo Operation, forming part of Fujimi's selection of small naval subjects.

Haruna began as a Kongo-class battlecruiser before being reconstructed into a fast battleship. Commissioned in the early 20th century, she underwent extensive interwar modernization and served in IJN surface operations during World War II. In 1944 Haruna carried increased anti-aircraft armament and radar equipment to adapt to shifting threats.

The kit is intended for modellers with interest in historical surface warships and calls for conventional modelling skills. The instructions concentrate on exterior arrangement and deck fittings typical of the 1944 configuration. Modelmakers may elect to enhance fine elements such as lighting, railings, and rigging to align with reference imagery. Final painting and weathering choices determine the exhibited realism.

A compact, display-oriented kit that reproduces Haruna's 1944 external appearance, recommended for collectors and modellers who value historical detail.
