Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

The namesake of the first class of battleships in the world fitted with 16-inch (40.64cm) guns, the 42,850-ton displacement IJN Nagato was commissioned in November 1920 and served in the Pacific conflict alongside the IJN battleship Yamato. After sustaining damage during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Nagato returned to Yokosuka Naval Base where she was relegated to coastal defense duties, ending her IJN career with the distinction of being the only Japanese battleship still afloat at the end of the war. She met her end as one of the target ships in the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests, surviving the first atmospheric detonation but sinking after the following undersea detonation.

This is Aoshima's re-release of its Nagato in 1/700 scale. A waterline kit, representing the Nagato as she appeared at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944. With the exception of a few conning tower parts, this kit and the simultaneously re-released Mutsu kit are identical.
