Why this kit matters
The IJN Mikasa was a pre-dreadnought battleship that served as the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Russo-Japanese War. It played a crucial role in the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, where the Japanese fleet decisively defeated the Russian fleet. The Mikasa is now preserved as a museum ship in Yokosuka, Japan, and it is a symbol of Japanese naval power.
This model kit allows you to recreate an iconic and historically significant battleship in detailed miniature. The IJN Mikasa's distinctive appearance and its role in a pivotal naval battle make it a compelling subject for model builders. Building this model is a tribute to the engineering and the history of naval warfare.
