Fujimi 1/700 Full-Hull IJN Aircraft Carrier Hiryu Plastic Model Kit - FJ-45194  [FJ-45194]

Fujimi FJ-45194 Hiryu 1/700 Full-Hull Special Version

A 1/700 scale full-hull plastic model kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Hiryu, released as a special version to include finer external detail parts.

The real Hiryu was an Imperial Japanese Navy carrier commissioned in the late 1930s and active during the early Pacific War. She participated in carrier operations during the opening months of the conflict and played a significant role at the Battle of Midway in June 1942, where she was critically damaged and sunk. Hiryu served as an example of interwar carrier design and wartime carrier operations.

This kit is presented as a full-hull version for display, rather than a waterline variant. The package designation indicates inclusion of photo-etched detail parts FH-25 EX-1 to enhance deck fittings and superstructure items. The instructions and sprue layout are typical of scale ship kits in this scale; modelers should plan for careful handling when fitting etched metal parts to the plastic components.

Assembly will require standard modeling tools and adhesives appropriate for plastic kits and metal photo-etched parts. Rigging, painting, and finishing are not described in the provided data; reference material is recommended for accurate color schemes and aircraft complements if a historically faithful display is intended.

A full-hull 1/700 representation of the carrier Hiryu with photo-etched detail aimed at builders seeking enhanced external accuracy for display models and historical subjects.
