Fujimi 43198 - 1/700 IJN Battleship Haruna Detailed Scale Representation

The Fujimi 43198 1/700 model recreates the IJN Battleship Haruna with careful attention to form and proportion. This kit appeals to naval history fans and experienced model builders seeking a faithful small-scale rendition.

Operational History and Accuracy

Haruna served as part of the Kongō-class battlecruisers later classified as battleships, known for combining speed with heavy armament. This kit reflects those defining features with parts shaped for historical likeness.

Build Quality and Finishing

The set includes precision photo-etched components, a wood deck seal and metal gun barrels to improve surface texture and detail. These elements let builders achieve crisp rigging, realistic decks and sharper gun assemblies during finishing.

What tools do I need to assemble this Fujimi 43198 kit?

Basic modelling tools are needed such as hobby knives, fine tweezers for photo-etched parts, plastic cement, and small files. A steady work area and magnification help with small details.

Are the photo-etched parts difficult to fit?

Photo-etched pieces require careful handling and precise bending. They add fine detail but can be challenging for first-time users; use fine cutters and a bending tool for best results.

What paint approach suits the wood deck seal?

Prime the sealed wood deck lightly, then use thin acrylic or enamel washes to bring out grain and panel lines. Test colours on scrap to match the era finish you prefer.
