Fujimi 43351 - 1/700 IJN Musashi 1944: Modeller snapshot

The Fujimi 43351 kit presents the IJN Battleship Musashi as it appeared in Operation Sho Ichigo, recreated at 1/700 scale for clear deck and superstructure detail. This release is tailored to modellers who enjoy accurate assembly and period-correct finishing.

Naval history in miniature

Musashi was notable for heavy protection and large calibre armament, and played a visible role during Sho Ichigo. This model provides a compact way to explore the ship's layout and historical presence without losing important details.

Build notes for workshop success

Parts are crisply moulded to highlight the ship's shapes, but many small fittings demand careful trimming and precise glueing. Experienced modellers will appreciate the payoff when rigging and paint bring the kit to life.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

Is this a good kit for kitbashing or upgrades?

Yes, the Fujimi 43351 has clean parts that can accept aftermarket photo-etch or scratchbuilt additions for enhanced detail, but expect careful work on small areas.

How do I tackle fine rigging on a 1/700 battleship?

Use thin thread or fine stretched sprue and a magnifier. Plan rigging routes before gluing and work from fixed anchor points to keep tension even.

Can I weather this kit for a more authentic look?

Light washes, dry brushing and subtle chipping give scale-accurate weathering. Test techniques on spare parts to control the effect at 1/700 scale.
