Hasegawa 40025 1/350 IJN Aircraft Carrier Akagi 1941 Model Kit

Model Ship Kit

A centerpiece subject for any serious Imperial Japanese Navy collection, this large-scale rendering captures Akagi as she appeared at the zenith of her operational career in 1941, following her extensive reconstruction into a full-length flight deck carrier. Originally laid down as a battlecruiser and converted under the limitations imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty, Akagi emerged as one of the most capable fleet carriers of her era and served as Vice Admiral Nagumo’s flagship during the opening phase of the Pacific War. She played a central role in the Attack on Pearl Harbor and subsequent early-war operations, embodying the striking power of Japan’s carrier doctrine before her loss at the Battle of Midway.

Hasegawa’s 1/350 scale treatment provides an expansive canvas for the experienced builder, with finely rendered hull lines, detailed island structure, and a well-appointed flight deck that invites advanced finishing techniques and additional detailing. The result is a commanding display piece that reflects both the technological ambition and historical significance of one of Japan’s most iconic fleet carriers.
