This kit recreates the Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Ise at her 1942 configuration in 1/700 scale, released within Fujimi's small-ship series for modellers who favour display-quality results.
The battleship Ise was one of two Ise-class capital ships constructed for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the World War I period and later updated in the interwar years. During the Second World War she served on fleet tasks and coastal patrols, undergoing conversions that reflected shifts in naval strategy and the growing emphasis on carrier aviation.
Construction emphasises exterior accuracy and correct hull lines for the 1942 setup. The kit contains parts to depict the #21 radar fitting referenced in wartime sources and is built from injection-molded plastic components common to 1/700 releases. Assembly will require routine modelmaking tools and paints; the sprues and molding support fine detailing and rigging for display-oriented projects.
An accurate small-scale rendition of Ise in 1942, the kit supplies the radar detail and external fittings appropriate for builders aiming to present a faithful display model.
