Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

Fujimi brings us a special-edition version of their Akagi (Plus Edition) model kit, which already includes precision outfitting parts -- now featuring additional photo-etched parts!

[Basic Specifications]:

• Designed for assembly using glue, this kit features intricate detailing that prioritizes realistic sculpting.
• Molded primarily in gray, the kit is designed for modelers to enjoy the painting process during assembly.
• The kit depicts the ship as she appeared during the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941, and the Midway operation in June 1942.
• It represents the ship following her major refit completed in 1938, with flight deck markings (decals) provided for the 1941 configuration.
• Includes "Hinomaru" (rising sun) markings for friend-or-foe identification on the flight deck as used during the June 1942 Midway operation, allowing for assembly in that configuration.

[Structure, Specifications, and Features]:

• The hull features a structure where the port and starboard sides are molded as a single unit.
• Details such as the rearward-slanting profile, numerous portholes, and the complex shape of the hangar side walls are rendered using single-piece molded parts.
• The flight deck is a single-piece structure featuring intricate molded details such as the wood planking, windbreak fences, and expansion joints.
• The section at the rear of the ship where the flight deck is double-layered is reproduced with the lower deck as a separate part.
• The elevators are provided as separate parts.
• Areas such as the anchor chain deck and boat deck feature delicate molded details, including non-slip patterns and rail tracks.
• The funnel consists of two parts joined vertically.
• Floor details, such as the strip patterns on high-angle gun platforms, are rendered with fine molding.
• The truss-style supports for the rear flight deck feature molded details on all four sides.
• Major components, including the hull, bottom plate, and machine gun parts, are molded in gray.
• Includes a total of four decal sheets covering three different variations. Includes one decal sheet for carrier-based aircraft markings.
• Includes two decal sheets for the ship's name at the stern and white lines for the deck supports.
• Includes one decal sheet featuring flight deck markings, naval ensigns, and the flight deck/friendly-force identification mark (Hinomaru) used during Operation Midway in June 1942.
• Unlike the Standard (STD) version, the "Plus" version includes specific parts designed for enhanced realism.
• The Plus specification includes replacement and additional parts, such as 9-meter cutters, 12-meter motor launches, 12-meter motor pinnaces, 13-meter special transport barges, the Imperial Chrysanthemum crest, 25mm anti-aircraft guns, and binocular telescopes.
• Includes a total of 15 carrier-based aircraft: five each of the Zero Type 21, Type 99 Carrier Bomber, and Type 97 Carrier Attack Bomber. The parts are molded in clear plastic to allow for a more realistic canopy finish.
• Includes 25mm twin anti-aircraft guns (standard inclusion of 2018-tooled parts) featuring precise molding and a two-part structure that makes painting easier.
• Includes binocular telescope parts for the bridge to enhance the detail of the anti-aircraft command post.
• Includes photo-etched parts capable of rendering fine details that are difficult to reproduce with standard injection-molded parts.
• The photo-etched set includes railings, ladders, bridge window frames, direction-finding antennas, funnel footrests, fall-prevention rails, boat davits, and more.
