Hasegawa 40129 1/350 Waterline IJN Carrier Hiyo Model Kit  [HA-40129]

Hasegawa 40129 - 1/350 Hiyo waterline model summary

This 1/350 scale waterline plastic model represents the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Hiyo and is part of Hasegawa's waterline series aimed at display-focused modelling.

Hiyo served as an Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier during the World War II era, operating carrier-based aircraft from a conventional flight deck and taking part in Pacific fleet operations before leaving front-line service.

The kit reproduces the carrier's external arrangement at waterline scale, concentrating on the hull profile, flight deck and island silhouette. Builders should expect to fit the plastic parts, align island and deck sections, and complete the model with paint and finishing to match period references. The kit is intended for display as a waterline subject rather than a full-hulled diorama piece.

A clear and straightforward waterline representation of the Hiyo carrier for scale display, suitable for modellers assembling fleet compositions and mid-war carrier subjects.
