A 1/350 scale waterline plastic model that depicts the N.Y.K. Line Hikawamaru, produced for display and scene composition rather than internal hull detail.
The Hikawamaru was launched in 1929 and completed in 1930, serving as an ocean liner for Nippon Yusen Kaisha (N.Y.K.). She saw both commercial and wartime service before returning to civilian operation, and her design remains of interest to maritime modelers and historians.
This waterline kit focuses on accurate external proportions and the superstructure profile appropriate to 1/350 scale. Builders should be prepared for cleaning parts, painting, and fitting fine details such as rigging. Using period photos and drawings will help when tackling small-scale elements and colour schemes.
A display-oriented 1/350 Hikawamaru kit suited to diorama builders and collectors who focus on external fidelity and finish quality.
