Description
Immerse yourself in naval history with the Fujimi [TOKU-51] 1/700 Japanese aircraft carrier "HOSHO" model kit. This meticulously detailed plastic model recreates the Imperial Japanese Navy's groundbreaking aircraft carrier, the Hosho, as it appeared in 1939.
The Hosho holds a significant place in naval aviation as the first aircraft carrier purpose-designed and commissioned by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Launched on November 13, 1921, and commissioned on December 27, 1922, she played a crucial role in developing carrier operational methods and tactics throughout the 1920s. Her early design featured a starboard island and three foldable funnels, which were later modified to a flush-deck configuration.
This 1/700 scale kit allows enthusiasts to build a faithful representation of this pioneering vessel.
