This 1/700 full-hull plastic kit portrays the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Hiryu and is offered as a special version including additional external detail parts.
Hiryu entered service in the late 1930s and was active in the early Pacific War. She took part in major carrier operations and was fatally damaged and sunk during the Battle of Midway in June 1942, serving as a notable example of prewar carrier design in wartime service.
The kit is presented as a full-hull model for display use, not a waterline variant. The package notes inclusion of photo-etched parts FH-25 EX-1 to upgrade deck fittings and superstructure detail. Careful handling is recommended when integrating the etched metal parts with the plastic components.
Construction will require common modelling tools and adhesives suitable for plastic kits and metal photo-etched components. Painting, rigging, and finishing are not covered in the supplied data; consult reference material for accurate paint schemes and aircraft complements when building a historically accurate model.
A detailed full-hull 1/700 rendition of Hiryu with photo-etched parts, suited to builders focused on external fidelity for display pieces.
