1/700 Special 024 IJN Battleship Musashi (1944/Shiai Ichi Operation)
The battleship Musashi was a symbol of the Allied Fleet along with the Yamato. Re-issued with additional precision molded 25mm triple machine gun parts and specification changes.
The product is an unpainted kit requiring adhesive assembly and painting.
The scale is 1/700 and is an offshore model not including the bottom of the ship.
The product uses conventional (special series) molds.
The battleship Musashi was the second ship of the Yamato class, the last ship type designed and built by the Imperial Japanese Navy, and was completed at the Kure Naval Arsenal in August 1942, the year after the war began.
She carried nine 46cm cannons, the largest in the world, and had a drainage capacity of 64,000 tons, making her an unprecedented ship.
On the same day of completion, it was incorporated into the Allied Fleet.
As aircraft were becoming the mainstay of warfare, Musashi was refitted to strengthen her anti-aircraft armament, and she fought in the Battle of the Mariana Sea and the Battle of Leyte.
In October 1944, the U.S. forces landed on Hishima Island, and Musashi participated in Operation Shoichi (Battle of Leyte) as a member of the combined forces of the Allied Fleet under Yamato and Nagato, but was sunk in the Sea of Sibuyan by an air attack.
The product is modeled after the ship as it appeared during Operation Sho Ichi I (Battle of Leyte) in October 1944.
- The model is based on the appearance of the ship at the time of the Battle of Leyte in October 1944.
- The aft mast is equipped with a No. 13 electric probe, the final configuration for the Musashi.
