Why this kit matters
The Japanese Navy Battleship Nagato was a significant vessel in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. As the lead ship of her class, Nagato was notable for being the first battleship in the world to mount 16-inch guns, making her a formidable force in naval warfare. She served as the flagship of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during the attack on Pearl Harbor, marking her place in history.
Post-war, Nagato was used in the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll, where she survived two atomic bomb blasts before sinking. This model captures the essence of Nagato's storied past, offering a glimpse into naval engineering and history.
