Product Description
[Structural and Specifications Features]
- It is made up of pre-colored parts, so the desired color scheme can be reproduced without painting.
• Because it uses a snap-fit assembly system, it can be assembled without using glue.
- Includes a sea surface base to easily and realistically display the model sailing on the open sea.
[Product Features]
This model is based on Operation Ten-Go (the Okinawa Special Attack Operation) in April 1945. The scale is 1/700.
The display base features a three-dimensional representation of the wake generated from the bow, sides, and propellers of the ship.
- hull
The hull is split into left and right halves, divided at the waterline. It is molded in a special gray color that mimics the battleship gray used at the Kure Naval Arsenal.
- To depict the portholes as largely closed, dedicated side parts were created for the hull, with recessed carving for open ports and raised carving for closed ports, resulting in a highly detailed and distinct representation.
- The external electrical wiring attached to the side of the hull is accurately depicted, including the fastening points.
- Armament
The main gun can be elevated and rotated. It achieves both a minimal number of parts and realistic design.
The 46cm main gun barrel is positioned in an open state using a slide mold.
- To recreate the additional machine gun mounts on the roofs of the No. 2 and No. 3 main guns, dedicated parts were prepared for both the main gun roofs and the machine gun mounts.
The secondary guns are rotatable, and the barrels and turrets are integrated into a single, one-piece structure.
- Bridge
- The bridge uses a split and sliding mold to minimize the number of seams between parts, and the parts are integrated into a single unit.
- The Type 22 radars on both sides of the bridge are specially made to reproduce their relocated appearance.
The 15-meter rangefinder and compass rose are designed to be rotatable.
- A troop waiting area and an enlarged signal station deck are provided as dedicated parts behind the bridge.
- Chimney/Mast
The chimney is a left-and-right combination design, and the steam exhaust pipe, whistle pipe, and even the monkey ladder are all represented as a single piece.
- The top cap section [grille] is hollow, creating a very realistic and sense of depth.
The mast has a two-piece structure and was designed to integrate the Type 13 radar that was installed during this period.
