Fujimi FJ-45194 1/700 Full-Hull IJN Aircraft Carrier Hiryu Plastic Model Kit  [FJ-45194]

Fujimi FJ-45194 — Hiryu 1/700 Full-Hull Special Edition

A 1/700 scale full-hull plastic model kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Hiryu, provided as a special edition that adds finer external detail components.

The real Hiryu was a carrier commissioned in the late 1930s and active during the early Pacific War. She took part in carrier operations during the opening months of the conflict and was critically damaged and sunk at the Battle of Midway in June 1942, illustrating interwar carrier design and wartime carrier operations.

This kit is supplied as a full-hull format intended for display rather than a waterline version. The package specifies inclusion of photo-etched detail parts FH-25 EX-1 to improve deck fittings and superstructure detail. Builders should take care when fitting etched metal parts to plastic components.

Assembly requires standard scale modeling tools and adhesives suitable for plastic and metal photo-etched parts. Rigging, painting, and finishing steps are not detailed in the provided information; consult reference sources for accurate color schemes and aircraft complements if you aim for a historically faithful finish.
