Fujimi 43198 1/700 IJN Battleship Haruna for Hobby Modellers

The Fujimi 43198 provides an accurate 1/700 scale model of the IJN Battleship Haruna, tailored for hobby modellers who enjoy detailed builds and display-quality results. The compact scale makes it ideal for shelf displays and group scenes.

Background and Model Faithfulness

Haruna was one of the Kongō-class ships, later classed as a battleship, notable for speed paired with heavy guns. The kit reproduces essential features so the finished model reflects the ship's wartime profile.

Included Upgrades and Finish Options

This kit comes with photo-etched parts, a wood deck seal and metal gun barrels to lift surface detail and toughness. Builders can use these upgrades to obtain crisper railings, textured decking and stable gun mounts.

Technical Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched, wood, and metal components
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for added realism
Assembly time varies with skill level; expect several evenings for a careful build including photo-etch work and finishing. Allow extra time for painting and weathering.
Decal inclusion can vary by release; check the kit contents. Apply decals over a gloss coat and seal with a clear varnish to avoid silvering and to protect them.
Adding fine rigging lines improves realism, especially on small scales. Use fine thread or stretched sprue and take time to position stays and antennae neatly.
