Hasegawa 43177 1/700 IJN Akagi Japanese Aircraft Carrier (Full Hull - Midway 1941)

Model Kit

The IJN Akagi (meaning “Red Castle”) was one of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s most famous aircraft carriers — originally built as a battlecruiser, then converted into a carrier under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty. She became a flagship of the Kido Butai (First Air Fleet) and played a central role in early Pacific War victories before being sunk at Midway.

Hasegawa is well known for producing high-quality, highly detailed model kits across a wide range of subjects. They’ve been in the hobby industry since the early 1960s and have a reputation for sharp mold quality, accurate scaling, and interesting kit subjects.
