Overview of the Hasegawa 49227 Akagi model

This Hasegawa 1/700 representation of the Aircraft Carrier Akagi offers a compact but faithful recreation of the carrier's silhouette. It appeals to scale modellers who want an accurate wartime subject without taking up excessive display space.

Notable wartime role

The Akagi served as part of the main carrier strike force during early Pacific campaigns. Building this kit provides insight into carrier layout and operational priorities of the era, making it useful for historical displays and study models.

Assembly notes for modellers

The kit features finely molded components that require careful trimming, gluing, and painting. Expect detail work on the superstructure and flight deck; steady hands and fine brushes will help bring the small-scale features to life.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authenticity
Build time varies with skill level and finishing detail. A focused modeller might complete the main assembly in several evenings, with additional time for painting and weathering.
Yes, the kit requires painting to match the historical colours and to bring out surface detail. Use scale-appropriate paints and thin coats for the best result.
The 1/700 scale is standard for many naval kits, so the Akagi will display well alongside other ships in the same scale for fleet dioramas.
