The Ryujo is a small aircraft carrier built with a hull similar to that of a heavy cruiser.
A design change during construction added an aircraft hangar level, resulting in an unbalanced ship. Numerous problems arose from the start, and the ship was quickly remodeled.
This kit, based on existing official drawings of the Imperial Japanese Navy, recreates the Ryujo in its configuration after its first remodel.
The flight deck, which slopes forward and backward like the aircraft carrier Akagi, is divided into two parts.
Also, for the first time in a 1/700 scale aircraft carrier kit, the flight deck's night lights have been reproduced.
The aft landing beacon and window frames in the surrounds are made of photo-etched parts.
The bow deck remains low, as in the original design, and the front of the bridge is flat.
The tip of the flight deck is angular, just like the surrounds.
The special series is a standard plastic model kit that requires paint and adhesive.
This kit was created in pursuit of the true appearance of the well-known Imperial Japanese Navy ships, incorporating all currently available information.
It features realistic molding at a 1/350 scale, with intricate parts for a highly accurate finished product.
Assembly takes time, but the end result is a satisfying kit.
This plastic model kit is a must-have for ship enthusiasts, allowing you to actually assemble ships that appear in anime and smartphone games.
This product requires assembly and painting.
Assembly and painting require additional adhesives, tools, etc.
