1/700 Fujimi FJ-43408 IJN carrier Shokaku Plus Version plastic model kit  [FJ-43408]

Fujimi FJ-43408 TOKU-41 EX-1 1/700 Shokaku (1941) Plus Edition for detailed modelling

This is a 1/700 scale plastic kit depicting the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Shokaku in its 1941 configuration, prepared for scale modelling and exhibit as part of Fujimi's small-ship line.

The Shokaku class emerged in the late 1930s as fleet carriers intended to operate alongside Japan's main carrier force. Commissioned in 1941, Shokaku served through early Pacific War operations and provided a launch platform for carrier-based aircraft in major naval engagements during 1941–1942.

As a scale representation, the kit title clarifies the historical period and the manufacturer's version label. Expect conventional assembly and finishing requirements at 1/700 scale; the designation reflects the intended wartime look rather than aftermarket alteration. Consult archival images and period plans to achieve close historical accuracy in paintwork and rigging.

A concise scale interpretation of Shokaku at the start of hostilities, aimed at modellers who want a compact carrier project with scope for extra detailing.
