Hasegawa 49227 Akagi 1/700 scale overview

This Hasegawa 1/700 scale kit recreates the Aircraft Carrier Akagi with careful attention to the ship's profile and superstructure. The model is aimed at naval enthusiasts who appreciate historical accuracy and a compact display piece that fits into established collections.

Service history highlights

The Akagi played a central role in early Pacific operations as part of Japan's carrier strike force. This kit gives builders a chance to study the carrier's layout and consider the tactical role air power had in World War II naval engagements.

Building and finish guidance

The Hasegawa kit includes accurately molded parts that need precise assembly and painting. Builders should prepare for small components and use fine tools and paints to achieve a convincing finish. The compact 1/700 scale makes it suitable for dioramas and shelf displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required

The kit is detailed and has small parts, so it is better suited to modellers with some experience rather than complete beginners. Simple modelling skills and patience are recommended.
Helpful tools include fine tweezers, hobby knives, sanding sticks, a small brush set, and a reliable plastic cement. A magnifier can help with tiny details.
Yes, the kit comes with decals to add markings that match the historical appearance of the ship. Apply decal setting solution for best adhesion.
Model builders often fit aftermarket photo-etch or rigging to enhance fine details, but check compatibility with 1/700 scale parts before purchasing upgrades.
