Why this kit matters
The Akagi served in the Imperial Japanese Navy as a key aircraft carrier in the early years of the Pacific War, including participation in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The vessel was later lost at the Battle of Midway in 1942, marking a turning point in naval aviation history. For scale-modellers this Fujimi 1/700 full-hull kit offers an expansive canvas—the ~58 cm finished length demands a prominent display spot and rewards careful assembly. The inclusion of a wood-deck sticker and etched parts enhances realism and invites advanced painting and finishing techniques.

How to use it
Begin by carefully trimming and cleaning sprue parts. Use plastic cement to assemble the hull, deck and superstructure. Paint large surfaces (hull, deck) using ship-appropriate colours; apply the wood-deck sticker and photo-etched details. Assemble smaller fittings (aircraft, masts, cranes) and apply decals if provided. Finish with clear coat or weathering as desired. Display on a shelf or glass cabinet with pride.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
