Product Description

- Anti-aircraft weapons have been strengthened, and new parts have been added to the appearance during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, where the No. 21, 22, and 13 electric probes and numerous single machine guns stand out!

- New molds will be used to standardize differences in reproducibility of equipment etc. depending on product release date, and some parts will be divided to take into account painting work.
・No. 13 electric probe is a new enclosed part that has a truss structure with engravings and the antenna part also has a shape representation.
- No. 21 electric probe is expressed with more delicate engraving than conventional accessory parts such as the insulator base for fixing the element on the front side.
- No. 22 electric probe is made into parts with the open state using a slide mold.
・The 12.7cm twin high-angle gun A1 type is subdivided into 4 parts, and the molding resolution has been increased from the existing 2 parts.
-The 9-meter cutter is made into two parts in consideration of painting, the pedestal is prepared as a separate part, and the deck can be molded as an integral part.
・The canvas and wheelhouse/machine room canopy are separate parts for the 11-meter fireboat in consideration of painting. Specifications in which each painting is done and assembly and gluing is done later.
-The carrier boat mount is molded with uneven shapes and light holes, giving it an increased sense of precision.
-New parts include the chrysanthemum emblem on the bow and the side lights on the bridge.
- Added binocular telescope parts to the air defense command center and compass bridge.
- Added stern ship name (warship color filled tone) and mast white line decals.
・The Type 96 25mm machine gun now has a two-part configuration as standard, which reduces painting/separation work.

- Hull
-The hull has a one-piece structure with the port and starboard sides molded as one piece, allowing for a more stable shape than when the left and right sides are glued together.
-The side bulge installed during renovation is expressed as a one-piece molding.
・The many blocked portholes and unblocked portholes lined up on the side, as well as the outboard electrical circuit that surrounds the entire circumference, are recreated with three-dimensional sculptures.
- Upper deck
-The upper deck is an integral part, with carvings that add to the sense of detail, such as holding down the linoleum deck and preventing slipping on the iron deck.
- The upper deck reproduces the slope (camber angle) that becomes lower towards the left and right sides.

- Each deck
- Various moldings such as the machine ammunition box, the installation part of the single machine gun, and the hose reel are reproduced.
-The shelter deck is made into separate parts, and the torpedo equipment compartment on the lower layer is also accurately reproduced.
-The aviation work deck is a separate part, and the vertical surface is also engraved using a slide mold.

- Bridge
-The distinctive large bridge structure is a one-piece part that has been engraved on four sides using a slide mold.
-The air defense command post and compass deck are made using slide molds to precisely represent each layer of the deck, including the wind shield.
- Main turret - The main gun barrel reproduces the muzzle, and the angle of elevation can be reproduced in any state by adjusting the angle of attachment to the turret.
-The joints of the heat shield plates are expressed in detailed carvings on the sides and top of the turret.

- chimney
-The front and rear chimneys are both split into left and right parts, and the handrails and double scaffolding are expressed with delicate carvings.

-The steam disposal pipe is a separate part from the chimney, reproducing the individual differences from the same type of ship.

- Mast/aviation rigging
-The rear mast expresses the lower truss structure by integral molding, making it easy to reproduce detailed shapes.
- The crane for water reconnaissance retrieval is reproduced by carving the truss shape on the side and top surfaces using a slide mold, and the hook is also expressed with delicate modeling.
-The catapult (Kure Type 2 Type 5) realistically reproduces the side/top side molding using a slide mold.

- Carrier-based aircraft
-The molding color is gray to improve workability (prevent damage during gate cutting).
- Two Type 0 (three-seater) water reconnaissance aircraft and two Type 0 water observation aircraft are included.

- Attached decal
- Contains markings such as military flags, national flags, and the Japanese flag of carrier-based aircraft.
- Three sizes of military flags are available. The contents are 1/700 scale based on the actual dimensions of 10 width, 6 width, and 3 width.
