Hasegawa 43179 - CH-129 Ise 1/700 full-hull battleship kit  [HA-43179]

Hasegawa CH-129 Ise 1/700 Full-Hull Battleship

This is a 1/700 scale full-hull plastic model kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft battleship Ise, issued as a full-hull alternative within the small-scale naval series to support display and diorama options.

The real Ise was one of two Ise-class battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, completed during the late 1910s and modernized between wars. During World War II she underwent conversion to carry floatplanes, which altered her superstructure and added limited flight facilities. The ship saw limited combat action in the Pacific and spent much of the late war period at naval bases.

This model reproduces the external form of the converted Ise, focusing on hull proportions and top-side arrangement. The full-hull format provides a complete underwater profile for stand or base mounting. Builders can expect to address small superstructure assemblies and fine aerials; careful painting and rigging will enhance the hybrid carrier appearance. Reference photos are recommended when matching late-war camouflages and stencilling.

A full-hull representation of the converted battleship Ise at 1/700 scale, useful for display options that require a complete underwater profile and for collectors focused on late-war Japanese capital ships.
