Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

Aoshima's full-hull ship series undergoes a long-awaited renewal, reborn with even greater precision!

The Fuso, the lead ship of the Fuso-class battleships, distinguished by its unique towering bridge structure, was completed in 1917 during World War I. After undergoing several modernization refits, she went on to participate in the Pacific War. During the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944, she charged into the Surigao Strait as a unit of the Nishimura Fleet. Alongside her sister ship, Yamashiro, she engaged the U.S. fleet and was subsequently sunk.

This kit accurately reproduces the Fuso as she appeared in the late stages of the Pacific War, heavily augmented with anti-aircraft weaponry, through a well-organized parts layout that ensures a simple yet precise assembly experience. Various fittings -- including countless anti-aircraft machine guns, high-angle guns, and aircraft catapults -- have been added using newly designed molds. Slide-molding technology is utilized to achieve intricate, precise surface details, and various fittings, with an emphasis on high-angle guns and machine guns, have been fully updated. Twelve metal gun barrels are included!

Newly tooled fittings and armament include:

• Type 89 12.7cm twin high-angle guns
• Type 96 25mm twin machine guns
• Type 96 25mm triple machine guns
• 110cm searchlights
