Fujimi 43198 1/700 Haruna - Precision for Scale Modellers

The Fujimi 43198 captures the IJN Battleship Haruna at 1/700 scale, offering compact accuracy for display or diorama use. This kit is aimed at modellers who value historical detail and tidy assembly work.

Service Record and Model Accuracy

Originally one of the Kongō-class vessels later rated as a battleship, Haruna combined speed with heavy armament during wartime operations. The model mirrors these characteristics through proportionate hull lines and deck fittings.

Parts and Finish Quality

Included are finely produced photo-etched parts, a sealed wood deck section and metal gun barrels to enhance realism. These parts help achieve sharper edges, authentic deck texture and convincing armament detail when finished carefully.

Kit Details

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched, wood, and metal components
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for added realism
Yes, the 1/700 scale makes Haruna compatible with common small-scale naval fleets and harbour scenes. Careful painting and weathering help it blend with other models.
Aftermarket barrels are an option if you want different profiles or materials, but the supplied metal barrels already improve accuracy and rigidity over plastic originals.
Work on a soft mat, use fine-tip tweezers and cyanoacrylate for metal-to-plastic joins. Keep parts organised and clean contact points before gluing.
Standard scale modelling paints are fine, but thin layers and selective washes produce a convincing timber look. Seal the deck first if you plan heavy weathering.
