Why this kit matters
The Soryu was a key aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy, launched in 1935 and serving as a core part of Japan’s carrier strike force during the early years of World War II. She played a major role in the attack on Pearl Harbor and several other significant operations in the Pacific.
Soryu’s design influenced later Japanese carriers, featuring a streamlined hull and advanced aviation facilities for her time. She was lost at the Battle of Midway in 1942, marking a turning point in naval warfare. Building this model offers a hands-on way to explore the engineering and history of one of Japan’s most important warships.
