Aoshima 1/700 IJN Hiryu - Accurate Pacific carrier model

This 1/700 scale kit from Aoshima recreates the IJN Hiryu with focus on accurate deck plan and hull lines. The kit suits modellers who want a compact yet detailed representation of a significant World War II carrier.

Historical context and kit focus

The Hiryu was active in key Pacific operations and is often studied for its ship design and aircraft handling layout. This kit reproduces those characteristic features in miniature, useful for modellers researching wartime fleet arrangements.

Precision Detailing

Moulded components capture the carrier's armament positions and aircraft fittings. Builders can choose to fit included decals and follow suggested painting schemes to achieve a convincing finish.

Display Potential

Once built, the model makes an effective shelf display or part of a larger 1/700 fleet grouping. Its size works well in compact dioramas showing carrier operations and support vessels.
