Hasegawa 40129 1/350 IJN Aircraft Carrier Hiyo plastic model kit  [HA-40129]

Hasegawa 40129 - 1/350 IJN Aircraft Carrier Hiyo model overview

This is a 1/350 scale waterline plastic model kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Hiyo, positioned as part of Hasegawa's waterline series for display modelling.

Hiyo was an Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier that operated during the World War II era, participating in Pacific fleet operations with carrier-based aircraft from a conventional flight deck. As a wartime fleet carrier, Hiyo was part of Japan's expansion of naval aviation in the mid-20th century and saw service in several fleet actions before being withdrawn from front-line operations.

The kit reproduces the carrier's basic external arrangement at waterline scale, focusing on the hull profile, flight deck and island silhouette. Builders can expect to assemble the plastic parts, align the island and deck sections, and complete the model with paint and finishing to match period references. The kit is intended for display as a waterline subject rather than a full-hulled diorama piece.

A straightforward waterline representation of the Hiyo carrier for scale display, suitable for modelers focusing on fleet compositions and mid-war carrier subjects.
