[TOKU-24] 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Ryuho 1945

Recreate the final 1945 configuration of the Imperial Japanese Navy light aircraft carrier Ryuho with this precision 1/700 scale model kit. This Toku 24 release features the significant late war modifications, including the extended flight deck lengthened to accommodate modern carrier based aircraft.

The kit highlights the strengthened anti aircraft suite essential for the ship final operations. It includes precisely molded 12.7cm twin high angle guns, 25mm triple machine guns, and the 28 barrel rocket launchers that were characteristic of Japanese carriers in the closing stages of the war. Electronic upgrades like the Type 21 and Type 13 radars are also faithfully represented.

Molded in green plastic to facilitate the application of complex anti aircraft camouflage, this waterline model captures the unique profile of the Ryuho as it transitioned from its original design as a submarine tender. The flight deck is detailed with fine engravings for wooden planking and tie down points, providing an accurate base for the included flight deck decals.
