This is a 1/700 scale injection plastic assembly kit representing the aircraft carrier Akagi, released as a new-version in the Fune Next No.4 lineup to reflect updated tooling and improved surface textures.
Originally built from a battlecruiser hull and converted under the Washington Naval Treaty, Akagi entered service in the late 1920s and acted as a leading carrier in early wartime operations. The ship remained active until being disabled during the Midway action in 1942, and its conversion history affected carrier design and naval aviation tactics of the time.
The new-version focuses on refined hull and flight deck detail over previous iterations. Supplied as an injection-moulded kit, it is aimed at modelers prepared to paint, rig, and finish the kit for display. External fittings and superstructure detail in the box support an accurate deck layout and compact silhouette at 1/700 scale. Expect to perform trimming and finishing to complete a museum-quality model.
A targeted new-version that enhances surface definition for a 1/700 Akagi, well suited to hobbyists and collectors seeking historical fidelity.
