The Fujimi 42162 Chibimaru Ship No.3 Kongo gives the historic Kongo battleship a compact, stylised makeover. As a non-scale release in the Chibimaru range, it focuses on approachable lines and a playful profile that will attract both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the hobby. The original Kongo, launched in 1913, provides the real-world inspiration behind this charming model.
This Chibimaru version adopts a Q-style design that simplifies complex details while keeping the ship's essential look intact. The simplified parts layout creates an enjoyable build session without the time commitment of larger scale kits. Snap-fit construction keeps the process tidy and tool-light.
Its small size makes the model easy to display on desks, shelves, or in cabinets with other Chibimaru pieces. The stylised form draws attention and adds variety to a collection focused on naval subjects. Lightweight paintwork and a small stand can elevate the presentation.
