Fujimi FJ-46135 - Kongou Battleship, 1944 Fune Next Release

The Fujimi FJ-46135 reproduces the Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Kongou at 1/700 scale, reflecting the 1944 configuration and supplied as a multi-part plastic kit for model builders.

Kongou underwent significant rebuilds between the world wars, which reshaped her superstructure and combat systems. By the 1944 timeframe she retained modifications that illustrate the vessel's long service life and changing role within the IJN order of battle. Her operational history includes prewar fleet engagements and later wartime assignments.

As part of Fujimi's Fune Next series, this kit emphasizes accurate small-scale profile and structural form. The kit is unassembled and requires the modeller to paint, rig and glue parts; consultation of reference photos and sources will aid in achieving a historically faithful finish. The product is targeted at collectors and hobbyists after a display-quality miniature rather than a quick-assembly toy.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Assembly: Plastic model kit

A detailed, display-oriented interpretation of a 1944 IJN battleship that delivers faithful hull and superstructure shapes for scale model enthusiasts.

The kit aims to match hull and superstructure outlines for the 1944 period; builders should consult period photographs and references for exact equipment and paint schemes to enhance authenticity.
Modelers often add fine rigging thread, aftermarket photo-etched parts or resin fittings to refine small details such as railings, ladders and radar arrays.
Accurate finishing typically uses a selection of naval greys and weathering washes; paint choices depend on the reference period and the finish the modeller wants to achieve.
Yes, the 1/700 scale makes it suitable for compact dioramas and fleet displays, though careful mounting and base work will improve presentation and stability.
