Product Description
- Akagi during the Midway Island invasion operation, with anti-aircraft identification markings on the deck, comes with etched parts!
- The Japanese flag markings on the flight deck are included as both decals and stickers exclusive to this product.
- The display base comes with different parts than the regular version, with a wooden deck/strip pattern.
- Includes both decals and stickers with the ship name to be affixed to the base.
- The product is based on Operation MI (the Midway Island invasion operation) in June 1942.
- The ship's bottom and hull parts are separated at the waterline, allowing the production of both offshore and full hull models.
- There are eight molding colors: warship color, linoleum color, wooden deck color, black, ship bottom color, gold, gray, and dark green.
- The hull is divided into left and right halves at the waterline. It is molded in a special gray color that imitates the warship colors used at the Kure Naval Arsenal.
- The sides are divided into left and right halves, and the portholes and external electrical wiring are depicted with sharp, three-dimensional sculptures.
- Fairleads and other fittings and sculptures are realistically reproduced with sharp sculpting.
- The bottom of the ship is a one-piece part made using a slide mold. The water supply and drainage ports and armor thickness are precisely depicted.
- The steel and wooden flight deck are separate parts, allowing you to recreate different colors without having to paint them.
- The wooden deck has delicate carvings that give it a realistic appearance even without painting, and its depth allows for easy lining when painting.
- The elevator features a delicate carving of an eye ring.
- Drainage gutters around the flight deck, windbreak fences, and the truss structure on the underside are recreated in detail.
- The bow anchor deck is molded as a single piece with all of its fittings, and the anchor chain and other parts are reproduced in three dimensions.
- The crane rails under the stern flight deck are separate parts, with attention paid to even the less visible parts.
- The struts and auxiliary struts supporting the flight deck are reproduced with delicate parts.
- The tip of the chimney is a separate part molded in black and is unpainted to reproduce the paint separation, and the depth of the exhaust port is also reproduced.
- The bridge is molded all around using a slide mold for a realistic look.
- The 20cm cannons mounted on both sides of the stern are beautifully sculpted to even recreate the wrinkles in the canvas.
- Comes with 4 types of stickers and 2 types of decals to assist with painting.
- Comes with pre-cut stickers (3 out of 4 types) with excellent adhesion, making it easy to paint the details.
- The included aircraft are three types from the Battle of Midway (Zero Fighter, Type 99 Carrier Bomber, and Type 97 Carrier Attack Aircraft).
- The Zero Fighter and Type 99 Carrier Bomber are molded in light gray, and the included Japanese flag marking stickers can be used to easily recreate the original color scheme.
- The Type 97 carrier attack plane is molded in dark green.
- Each kit uses one piece, and three of each kit are included, for a total of nine kits.
- Comes with an inconspicuous black pedestal designed with straight lines for display after completion.
- The box art, by Yoshiyuki Takakago, shows Akagi traveling at high speed to launch its aircraft.
- Includes etching parts that can express fine details that are difficult to reproduce with injection parts.
