Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa - accurate miniature of the historic battleship

The Hasegawa 49151 1/700 Mikasa model captures a key ship from early 20th century naval history. The pre-dreadnought Mikasa saw action in the Russo-Japanese War and was central at the Battle of Tsushima. This kit reproduces the ship's classic lines and is aimed at modellers who enjoy historically faithful builds.

Display value and historical background

Entering service in 1902 and acting as Admiral Togo's flagship, Mikasa is a symbol of naval heritage. Hasegawa's kit renders the vessel's superstructure and armament layout clearly, enabling an attractive presentation in a maritime collection or diorama.

Crafting tips and finishing touches

Intended for enthusiasts who like to work on detailed subjects, the kit's parts fit together to show the ship's defining features. Follow the assembly guide carefully and consider fine painting and subtle weathering to bring out panel lines and deck detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
The kit is best for intermediate to experienced modellers because of small fittings and precise assembly steps.
The kit includes the structural parts but rigging thread is not supplied. Fine thread or stretched sprue can be used to add rigging lines.
Use a primer, then fine brushes or airbrush for even coats. Masking helps achieve crisp deck-to-hull lines, and light washes reveal recessed details.
