Historic Japanese Battleship in 1/700 Full‑Hull Scale

Experience naval history with this highly detailed 1/700 scale full‑hull model of the Imperial Japanese Navy's legendary Battleship Fuso as she appeared in 1944. The Fuso was one of Japan's most iconic dreadnoughts, renowned for her distinctive pagoda‑style superstructure and presence in major Pacific War engagements. This finely scaled model brings the powerful silhouette and design of the warship to life, making it a compelling centerpiece for any military model collection.

Authentic Late‑War Configuration

This kit faithfully represents Fuso in her late‑war configuration, reflecting the extensive modifications and additional anti‑aircraft armaments fitted during her service in 1944. Attention to period‑accurate details ensures that the model captures the battleship's wartime profile - from the reinforced weaponry to the tactical layout of the deck and superstructure - offering an immersive build for enthusiasts interested in World War II naval history.

Full‑Hull Design for Complete Display

Unlike waterline‑only kits that display ships as though floating at sea, this model features a full‑hull design, meaning the entire underside and hull of the Fuso are included in the build. This allows for display on stands or custom bases, letting builders showcase the ship in a realistic grounding or diorama scene. The complete hull enhances the model's visual impact and gives a satisfying sense of scale when fully assembled.

Precision Molding with Enhanced Metal Details

Aoshima's kit includes precision‑molded plastic components for the hull, superstructure, guns, and fittings, along with metal barrels for the ship's main armament. The inclusion of metal parts adds depth and realism to the main battery guns, elevating the model's appearance compared to all‑plastic alternatives. When combined with careful painting and assembly, the result is a richly detailed warship that honours the engineering of the original battleship.

Engaging Build for Military Modellers

This battleship kit is designed for hobbyists who enjoy classic ship modelling - it requires assembly and painting, allowing builders to bring out every detail from the pagoda mast to the anti‑aircraft batteries. Whether you're creating a standalone historic display or adding to a larger World War II fleet diorama, the Fuso 1944 model delivers a rewarding build and a striking finished piece that highlights one of Japan's most remarkable warships.
