This is a 1/700 scale injection plastic assembly kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Akagi, released as a new-version in the Fune Next No.4 line to reflect updated tooling and surface detail.
The real Akagi began life as a battlecruiser hull redesigned and converted into an aircraft carrier under the Washington Naval Treaty. Commissioned in the late 1920s, Akagi served as a key carrier in early Pacific War operations, participating in major actions until being disabled during the 1942 Midway operation. Its conversion history and carrier role influenced carrier design and naval air tactics of the era.
As a new-version release within a series that updates earlier tooling, this model emphasizes revised hull and flight deck detail compared with prior releases. The kit is an injection-molded plastic assembly format suitable for builders who intend to paint and rig the ship for display. External fittings and superstructure are presented to support accurate deck layout and silhouette at 1/700 scale. Builders should plan for finishing work and rigging if they require a completed display model.
A focused new-version release that updates surface detail for a 1/700 representation of Akagi; suitable for builders and collectors aiming for a historically grounded display subject.
