Fujimi Model 1/700 Ship NEXT Series No.12 Japanese

The pedestal of Musashi, which is ``the flagship of the Combined Fleet since its completion with four secondary guns'', has been updated! The parts that are different from the popular Operation Shoichi-go (during the Battle of Leyte Gulf) are reproduced with a new mold!

Battleship Yamato, symbol of the Japanese Navy, is equipped with the world's largest 46cm gun. The second ship, Musashi, was completed in August 1944. In October, Musashi was additionally equipped with an electric probe, which was being developed at the time, and the ship was heading towards the Solomon Islands, where the wind and speed were threatening, and Musashi was the predecessor to Truk Island. The first ship Yamato and the second ship Musashi lined up proudly at the anchorage, and in June 1945, they became the flagships of the combined fleet and flew their general flag. Later, in order to respond to air attacks, the secondary guns on both sides were removed, and she was renovated to strengthen her anti-aircraft armament, and she participated in the Battles of the Mariana Gulf and Leyte Gulf.

□The product is designed to reproduce two different periods. ・Seen before installing No. 21 electric probe shortly after completion (August to September 1945) - Equipped with an electric probe, it is possible to recreate the time when she lined up with the Yamato on Truk Island, visited Emperor Showa, and became the flagship of the combined fleet (September 1945 - April 1944) □The top of the bridge is white, indicating that it belongs to the combined fleet, and is reproduced in molded color. □The wooden deck parts are newly designed parts to match the time when secondary guns were installed. □The wooden deck parts are beige, unlike the black molding color used in Operation Shoichi-go. □The attached stickers include the Emperor's flag and the General's flag, allowing you to recreate the appearance of Emperor Showa on his visit or the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet in Kogamine. □The decoration stand has been renewed! During assembly, it can be turned over and used as a parts container.

The Ship NEXT series is a plastic kit that makes it easier to create ship models and yet achieves realistic results. Because each part is molded in a different color, no painting is required. Uses a division method that makes the fitting of parts inconspicuous. This is a snap kit that does not require adhesive. Comes with stickers that reproduce the color coding of detailed parts. If you remove the part below the waterline, you can reproduce the offshore model.
