Fujimi FJ-46135 1/700 IJN Kongou Battleship Kit  [FJ-46135]

Fujimi FJ-46135 - IJN Battleship Kongou 1944 (Sho Ichigo Configuration)

This 1/700-scale kit reproduces the Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Kongou as she appeared in 1944, released under Fujimi's Fune Next lineup and intended for careful assembly and display detailing.

Kongou began life as a major capital ship and received extensive interwar rebuilds that changed her silhouette and operational role. By 1944 she remained active within the IJN, carrying the cumulative modifications from decades of refits and upgrades. Her service record covers both prewar fleet action and wartime escort and patrol duties.

As a Fune Next offering, the Fujimi FJ-46135 kit focuses on accurate hull and superstructure shapes at small scale. The kit comes as unassembled plastic parts; modelers should expect to undertake painting, rigging and mounting for display, consulting reference sources for correct paint schemes and equipment fits. This release targets collectors and modelers seeking a precise, display-ready small-scale representation rather than a quick-build toy.

A compact, historically minded model of a 1944-era IJN battleship that delivers scale-faithful hull and superstructure detail for builders focused on accuracy and presentation.
