Ise 1/700 Converted Battleship Full-Hull Model Kit - Hasegawa 43179  [HA-43179]

Ise in 1/700 Full-Hull Form by Hasegawa

This 1/700 full-hull kit depicts the Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Ise after her wartime conversion to support floatplanes. The full-hull option supplies a complete underwater profile that suits display stands and enclosed cases.

Historically, Ise belonged to an Ise-class pair built in the late 1910s and later modernised. During the Pacific war she underwent conversion work that altered her superstructure and added limited aircraft-handling features, while her combat employment remained restricted.

The model captures the external silhouette of the converted ship, with attention to hull proportions and deck layout. Full-hull construction lets you present the complete underwater shape. Assembly involves small components and fine details; careful painting and rigging will enhance the converted appearance. Use wartime photography for accurate late-war finishes and markings.

An accurate 1/700 full-hull rendition of the converted Ise, tailored for display-focused model builders and naval collections.
