Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa detailed naval scale kit

The Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa kit provides an accurate miniaturisation of a historically important vessel. As a pre-dreadnought of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Mikasa gained prominence during the Russo-Japanese War and at the Battle of Tsushima. This model reproduces the ship's early 20th century silhouette and offers a rewarding build for modellers who enjoy historical subjects.

Why the Mikasa matters to collectors

Launched into service in 1902 and serving as Admiral Togo's flagship, the Mikasa represents a turning point in naval power. Hasegawa's moulding captures the ship's profile and superstructure, making this kit a solid addition to maritime collections and museum-style displays.

Assembly notes and expected finish

Designed for hobbyists who prefer accuracy, the kit contains precise components that require careful handling. The instructions support builders through assembly, and with patient trimming and painting the finished model rewards attention to detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine files and tweezers are recommended. A magnifier can help with small parts.
Aftermarket photo-etch or brass details can improve realism, but they require careful bending and glueing. Check compatibility with 1/700 naval upgrade sets.
A slim plinth or a simple water-effect base suits 1/700 ships well. Measure the assembled hull length to select a proportional base.
