Miniature Akagi with Historic Three-Deck Arrangement

The Hasegawa 30072 Akagi model captures the carrier's distinctive three-flight deck profile at 1/700 scale. Molded plastic parts replicate the vessel's lines and deck levels, and the kit includes multiple carrier biplanes to populate the flight surfaces.

This kit provides a focused build for hobbyists keen on naval subjects, letting builders recreate a compact but faithful version of the Akagi for cabinets or group dioramas. Finish details and careful painting lift the model from assembled parts to a convincing display piece.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Features: Three-flight deck design
  • Includes: Carrier-based aircraft set (biplanes)
  • Material: Plastic

What glue works best for this kit?

Use a liquid cement designed for polystyrene to get clean joints on the small plastic parts. Apply sparingly to avoid melting fine details.

Should I paint the biplanes before assembly?

Painting some subassemblies before final assembly helps reach recessed areas and yields neater results. Masking tiny canopies and propellers before final glue-up can improve the finish.

Is extra rigging required to display the ship?

Rigging is optional but adds authenticity. Fine thread or stretched sprue can simulate antennae and deck lines for a more convincing scale look.

Can this model be used in group dioramas?

Yes, the compact 1/700 size makes it easy to place alongside other ships or aircraft for a larger naval vignette. Consistent weathering helps unify multiple models.
