Fujimi FJ-43408 1/700 IJN aircraft carrier Shokaku - scale plastic model kit  [FJ-43408]

Fujimi FJ-43408 - TOKU-41 EX-1 1/700 WWII IJN Aircraft Carrier Shokaku Plus Version

This is a 1/700 scale plastic model kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Shokaku as recorded in 1941, positioned for scale modelling and display within Fujimi's small-ship series.

The real Shokaku class was developed in the late 1930s as fleet carriers intended to operate with Japan's main carrier force. Shokaku entered service in 1941 and took part in early Pacific War carrier operations, serving as a platform for carrier-based aircraft and participating in major naval actions during 1941-1942.

As a scale kit, the product name identifies the subject period and a manufacturer versioning label. Builders should expect the model to require standard assembly and finishing at 1/700 scale; the designation in the title indicates the intended wartime appearance rather than aftermarket modifications. Reference photographs and period plans are recommended for accurate painting and rigging work when aiming for historical fidelity.

A focused scale representation of Shokaku at the outbreak of war, suited to builders seeking a compact carrier subject for display or further detailing.
