NX-15 Haruna 1/700 — 1944 External Layout by Fujimi

This 1/700 scale plastic model kit represents the Imperial Japanese Navy fast battleship Haruna in her 1944 setup for Sho Ichigo Operation, placed within Fujimi's lineup of small naval kits.

Haruna originated as a Kongo-class battlecruiser and was later reconstructed into a fast battleship. Serving from the early 20th century, she saw major rebuilds between the wars and operated as part of IJN surface forces during World War II. In 1944 Haruna was fitted with additional anti-aircraft armament and radar gear to counter increasing aerial threats.

Targeted at modellers interested in historical surface vessels, this kit's assembly is straightforward for those with basic modelling experience. The instructions emphasise external fittings and deck arrangement specific to 1944. Builders may opt to add or improve tiny details such as lighting, railings, and rigging to align with period photos. Final finish and weathering will define the display result.

A concise scale representation aimed at display-focused collectors, highlighting Haruna's wartime external modifications from 1944.
