Hasegawa 43179 - 1/700 Ise Converted Battleship Full-Hull Kit  [HA-43179]

1/700 Ise Full-Hull Model (Hasegawa 43179)

This product is a 1/700 scale full-hull plastic model kit of the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft battleship Ise in her converted form. The full-hull presentation provides a complete hull profile for display and diorama versatility.

Built originally in the late 1910s and modernised in the interwar period, Ise was converted during the Pacific conflict to handle floatplanes. The conversion changed her silhouette and added aircraft handling features, though she saw limited frontline service afterward.

The kit reproduces the external form of the modified Ise with focus on hull lines and deck arrangement. Full-hull construction allows direct mounting on a base. Expect fine superstructure parts and aerial fittings; meticulous painting and rigging will best show the ship's blended battleship-carrier appearance. Reference photos are useful when matching late-war paint and markings.

A detailed full-hull model of the converted Ise at 1/700, suitable for display collectors and model ship enthusiasts.
