[KG-2] 1/700 MUSASHI last type FULL HUL Model

Embark on a journey into naval history with the Fujimi 1/700 IJN Battleship Musashi (Last Type) Full Hull Model. This meticulously detailed plastic model kit captures the formidable Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Musashi as she appeared in her final configuration during the pivotal Sho-Ichigo Operation (Battle of Leyte Gulf) in October 1944. As the second ship of the legendary Yamato-class, Musashi was among the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, a true marvel of naval engineering.

This full hull model accurately represents the Musashi's appearance in 1944, showcasing the modifications made to her anti-aircraft armament. During repairs in early 1944, her anti-aircraft capabilities were significantly augmented. This "last type" rendition features the removal of two secondary guns, with a reinforced high-angle gun compartment added, though machine guns were placed there as the larger guns could not be installed in time. You will also find the distinctive No. 13 electric probe on the rear mast, reflecting her final operational form.

The kit allows for a complete reproduction of the ship, including the hull below the waterline, and comes with a display pedestal for showcasing your completed masterpiece.
