This injection plastic assembly kit represents the Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Akagi at 1/700 scale, issued as a new-version in the Fune Next No.4 series to incorporate refreshed tooling and better surface definition.
Akagi started life as a battlecruiser hull that was converted into an aircraft carrier under the Washington Naval Treaty. Commissioned in the late 1920s, she played a key role in early Pacific War carrier operations until being disabled during the 1942 Midway operation. The ship's conversion and service record influenced subsequent carrier concepts and naval air doctrine.
The new-version release emphasizes updated hull and flight deck detail over prior Fujimi kits. The injection-moulded parts are intended for modellers who will paint and rig the vessel for display. External fittings and the supplied superstructure pieces support a faithful deck layout and silhouette at 1/700 scale. Builders should plan on finishing tasks and optional rigging to present a complete model.
An updated 1/700 representation of Akagi that improves surface detail and tooling accuracy, suitable for hobbyists and collectors aiming for a polished display model.
