[TOKU-56] 1/700 Japanese aircraft carrier "HIRYU"

Recreate one of the most recognizable warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy with this precision 1/700 scale model of the aircraft carrier Hiryu. Part of the Fujimi Special Series, this kit captures the unique profile of the vessel, most notably its rare port-side island bridge and distinctive funnel arrangement. The model is designed to represent the Hiryu as it appeared during its final operations in 1942, providing a high level of historical accuracy for naval enthusiasts and diorama builders.

The kit features finely molded parts that highlight the intricate details of the flight deck, including engraved planking and tie-down points. The hull is a waterline style, allowing it to sit flush on flat surfaces to simulate the ship at sea. Builders will find a comprehensive array of shipboard equipment, including anti-aircraft batteries, rangefinders, and lifeboats, all scaled to maintain the delicate proportions of the original carrier.

To complete the flight deck scene, a selection of carrier-based aircraft is included. These miniatures represent the core of the Japanese naval air power during the early Pacific War, featuring the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero fighter, the Aichi D3A1 Type 99 dive bomber, and the Nakajima B5N2 Type 97 torpedo bomber. Each aircraft is molded with clear or grey plastic to allow for detailed painting of the cockpits and markings.
