[KG-18] 1/700 TAIHO FULL HUL Model

A meticulously detailed replica of the Imperial Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier Taiho, this Fujimi 1/700 scale Full Hull Model offers enthusiasts the chance to recreate a pivotal vessel from World War II. Known for its advanced design and armored flight deck, the Taiho was a symbol of Japanese naval engineering prowess. Commissioned in March 1944, it served as the flagship of Vice Admiral Ozawa and the Japanese 3rd Fleet, playing a significant role in the Pacific theater until its sinking in June 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea.

This injection-plastic kit allows for versatile display, enabling construction as either a full-hull model to showcase the ship's complete form or as a waterline model. The lower hull is precisely molded as a single piece, with separate parts provided for the propeller and rudder, ensuring an accurate representation. Builders will appreciate the updated instruction manual, designed for enhanced clarity and ease of understanding during assembly.

The kit features intricate details, including newly designed precision machine gun parts for the triple, twin, and single 25mm machine guns, with separate barrels and gun mounts for an elevated level of realism.
