Product Description
Chibimaru [Fuso] is now available with etched parts!
A series of cute palm-sized deformed Japanese naval vessels
-Snap-fit design that requires no adhesive, multi-color molding and realistic stickers mean no painting required.
The product is based on the Fuso battleship, which took part in the final battle of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and has a style that condenses its characteristic features into a reduced, deformed form.
- The molded parts are made up of pre-painted parts in the colors of battleships and the ship's bottom.
-Since the design is divided into the hull and bottom, it can be made into either an offshore type or a full hull type.
The characteristic features found on the actual ship are faithfully recreated.
The hull is a one-piece structure with the left and right sides integrated using a slide mold, recreating the chunky shape that is characteristic of battleships.
- The anchor is made into a separate part to give it a unique shape, and the portholes, including the eaves, are realistically depicted.
- The stern aviation work deck features linoleum retaining brackets that are reproduced through carving.
-The shape of the ship at the end of the war, with a radar mounted on the top of the bridge, is accurately recreated.
- The upper deck is carved to resemble a wooden deck.
The depth of the engraving makes it suitable for lining when recreating painted models.
- Wooden and linoleum decks can be easily recreated using the included stickers, and the wood grain pattern looks realistic as it uses multiple colors.
- The aircraft work deck has a three-dimensional structure, including rails and linoleum covering.
- The muzzles of the 36 cm main gun, 15 cm secondary gun, and 12.7 cm anti-aircraft gun can be opened using a slide mold, creating realistic barrels.
- Different parts are made for the main gun depending on whether or not it is equipped with a rangefinder and additional machine gun.
- The main gun's rotation angle can be changed.
- The bridge is of a stacked design, accurately expressing the ship's unbalanced exterior shape.
-The bridge is made visible by inserting pillars, just like the real ship, and is fitted out with a number of equipment, including anti-aircraft guns.
- Includes aircraft carriers that are deformed just like the ships.
- The aircraft included is the Type 95 seaplane, and markings such as the Japanese flag are recreated with included stickers.
- One unit is included and is molded in dark green.
The etching parts do not detract from the deformed image of the base kit, and contain delicate details comparable to those of a normal ship model.
Etched parts include the hull, various handrails, bridge window frames, ladders, cranes, various shields, gunsights, around the chimney, searchlight slits, No. 21 radar, No. 13 radar, catapults, transport carts, and runways.
