Legendary WWII Battleship in 1/700 Full Hull Scale
Recreate one of the most famous warships of World War II with this 1/700 scale full‑hull model kit of the Japanese Navy Battleship Nagato as she appeared in 1945. Nagato was a flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and played a significant role throughout the Pacific War, making her a compelling subject for model builders and military history fans. The full‑hull design delivers a complete representation of the ship's profile, perfect for display.
Authentic Late‑War Configuration
This kit faithfully depicts Nagato in her final wartime configuration, including the array of added anti‑aircraft guns and fittings representative of the Pacific War's later stages. By capturing the end‑of‑war appearance rather than an earlier pre‑war or mid‑war setup, the model provides an authentic and historically evocative build.
Included Metal Gun Barrels for Enhanced Detail
A standout feature of this model is the inclusion of metal barrels for her massive 41 cm twin cannons, giving the finished build a level of realism and visual impact beyond standard plastic parts. These metal components add heft and authenticity to the ship's mighty main battery-one of Nagato's defining characteristics.
Precision Molding and Parts Quality
Crafted with precision‑molded plastic components, the kit offers intricate deck details, superstructure elements, and small fittings that bring the battleship's complex silhouette to life. Builders can enhance the finished model through careful painting and assembly, highlighting Nagato's distinctive features, from her bridge to her anti‑aircraft armament.
Rewarding Build for Military Model Enthusiasts
This kit is designed for hobbyists with an interest in naval modeling who enjoy the process of assembling and painting detailed scale ships. With its comprehensive parts layout and full‑hull structure, the completed model makes a striking addition to any historical fleet display, naval diorama, or dedicated showcase of World War II vessels.
