--Introducing the modified Suzuya heavy cruiser [Ibuki] with precision etching parts!
--The product is an unpainted kit that requires adhesive assembly and painting.
――The scale is 1/700, and it is an offshore model that does not include the bottom of the ship.
--The heavy cruiser [Ibuki] was planned in November 1945, one month before the start of the war, to replenish it in preparation for wartime wear, and construction started at the Kure Naval Arsenal.
--In order to shorten the construction time, it was started based on Suzuya, which is the latter model of the Mogami class, and the air defense command post was set up from the beginning. (The top model is triple-mounted).
--The launch was low in April 1941 and after the loss of the main aircraft carrier in the Battle of Midway, and in August it was remodeled into a light aircraft carrier. It was a cruiser.
――The product is a set of [Ibuki] and special etching parts for upgrading.
――The motif is the appearance of the first Kai Suzuya type ship [Ibuki] when it was completed as a heavy cruiser during the war.
――The attached etching parts are a set of 2 pieces, and more than 140 kinds of parts for 1 ship are recorded.
――We have prepared special parts for the fitting and lightning outfits that are different from the top model.
[Human structure]
-Preparing hull parts with the same cross-sectional shape as the Mogami-class late ship [Suzuya / Kumano].
-Reproduced with the porthole closed due to the war lessons.
EP): The two-step handrail around the entire ship is a specially designed part that matches the shape of the entire circumference of the ship.
[Bridge / Front mast / Main gun]
EP): No. 21 Electric probe: The frame surface is expressed on both the back and front with the specifications of folding and assembling from a flat plate shape to a box shape.
EP): No. 13 Electric probe: Precision specifications with 5 parts and separate columns and horizontal antenna.
-The bridge window is prepared with transparent parts that can be finished more realistically.
・ The anti-aircraft equipment installed on both sides of the bridge is a type 94 anti-aircraft device (the top model is equipped with a type 91 anti-aircraft device).
-A delicate grating floor is sculpted on the floor of the air defense command post and the Rashinkanbashi.
-The air defense command post comes with binocular telescope parts that increase the sense of precision just by attaching it.
EP): Main turret: Contains 5 heat shield side plates that cover the sides, rear, and top.
[Chimney / Air supply port / Linoleum deck]
・ A thin chimney, which is a feature of the same 10-can boiler as Suzuya and Kumano, is available.
-The funnel cap is a molded part that is [removed].
EP): Funnel cap: Contains an extra-fine grid that cannot be reproduced by injection.
-The steam waste pipe is designed as a separate part to increase the sense of precision.
EP): ・ Searchlight stand: Precision by replacing with a set of etched parts including the base truss and handrail.
EP): Aircraft transfer rail: A type in which a mold is cut and newly attached. The rail is a separate part.
EP): Chimney Monkey Rattal
-Records the chimney inner guide plate.
[Rear Mast / Crane / Depth Charge Weapon]
-The rear mast is a special part equipped just before the 4th turret, and the crane for water reconnaissance collection, and the 13th electric probe is a special part in the opposite position to Suzuya.
EP): Crane for water reconnaissance: A flat plate is assembled into a cylinder, and the hook part at the tip is a separate part.
-The stern is equipped with a depth charge drop rail and depth charge as anti-submarine weapons with special parts.
EP): Depth charge drop rail: Consists of a storage frame and a depth charge, and a separate plastic round bar is required for the depth charge.
[Shelter deck / Aviation work deck]
-The shelter section equipped with a torpedo launcher has a three-dimensional reserve torpedo storage.
-The torpedo launcher will be equipped with 4 units, which was planned to be equipped in the initial plan, and will be reproduced with special parts using a new mold.
-The torpedo launcher can be attached at any angle, such as a normal state along the success line and a swivel launch state.
EP): ・ Catapult: A specification that reproduces the truss structure and assembles in a folding box.
[Carrier-based aircraft]
-The molding color is gray to improve workability (prevent damage during gate cutting).
-Comes with 3 [Ruiun] that appeared as a carrier-based water detective at the end of World War II.
EP): Sliding car: For precise truss-like construction by folding and reproducing. Other main parts recorded in the etched parts
EP): gangway: The stair tread is in a state of being removed with a two-part configuration.
EP): Life-saving buoy: The stern buoy has a separate storage device and life-saving buoy to improve paintability.
EP): 25mm single machine gun, 25mm machine gun (continuous / triple) bulletproof plate EP): Lead / stern flagpole / direction finding antenna / E27 reverse detection antenna
EP): Handrails and ramps for rear passages, searchlights, rangefinders, etc.
EP): Ship-based water reconnaissance propeller, can chamber intake frame, searchlight truss structure
[Attached decal]
-Markings such as the flag of the warship, the national flag, and the Hinomaru of the carrier-based aircraft are recorded.
--The completed size is about 287x43x46 mm (total length x total width x total height)
――The molded parts are composed of two colors, gray and transparent.
