The Hasegawa 1/700 Hikawamaru kit presents the Japanese ocean liner in a compact scale, offering hobbyists a detailed hull and deck arrangement suitable for display or incorporation into a larger harbour scene.
Hikawamaru entered service in 1929, operating on routes including Japan to Seattle. Its conversion to a hospital ship during World War II adds historical interest, which the kit captures in the vessel profile and fittings.
This 1/700 scale Hasegawa kit rewards careful assembly and thoughtful painting. The model is intended for builders who appreciate fine-scale modelling and want a neat finished piece for their shelf or cabinet.
