The Aoshima 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Hiryu kit offers a tidy, accurate representation of the wartime carrier. It is suitable for builders who want a historically referenced subject with clear part definition and decal options.
Noted for its participation in major Pacific battles, the Hiryu's profile and flight deck arrangement are faithfully suggested in this kit. It provides a solid base for anyone researching carrier operations or assembling a small fleet display.
Injection-moulded parts show deck fittings and weapon stations, and the supplied decals enable a variety of finish choices. The construction process rewards careful trimming and alignment at the smaller scale.
Completed, the model is a strong addition to naval collections and small dioramas. Its 1/700 scale makes it easy to pair with other ships to recreate tactical formations from the era.
