Product Description
- Fukuyama Castle is a huge Hirayama castle built in 1622 by Katsunari Mizuno, the first lord of the Fukuyama domain.
- The castle tower is in the form of a five-story, six-story tower.
- Decorated with plover gables and Kara gables, the top floor is decorated with balustrades and flower-headed windows, and is said to be the last masterpiece of Edo period architecture that expresses elegance rather than actual combat.
- The walls and windows on the north side of the castle tower are made entirely of iron plates, the only one in Japan.
- Another feature of Fukuyama Castle is the rain cover, which is said to have been added around the middle of the Edo period.
- The castle tower was burnt down in the Fukuyama Air Raid in 1945, and the current castle tower was rebuilt after the war.

- This kit is a 1/150 scale reproduction of the exterior shape based on the drawings of the Fukuyama Castle castle tower before the fire, researched and designed by castle and ancient architectural model artist Mitsuru Shima.
