[Scale] 1/350
The "Zuikaku" at the start of the Pacific War is now available in a new 1/350 scale lineup!
This product is an unpainted kit that requires assembly and painting.

The scale is 1/350, and it is a full hull style including the bottom of the ship.

The Shokaku-class aircraft carriers were planned under the Maru 3 Plan, which was implemented at the same time as the Yamato-class battleships, and the second ship, the Zuikaku, was completed in September 1941 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, just before the outbreak of the Pacific War.

Together with the first ship, Shokaku, the 5th Air Squadron was formed and participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Battle of the Coral Sea was the first naval battle between aircraft carriers in history.

Due to the loss of Akagi and the other four ships, which were the mainstay of the air force, Zuikaku continued to be the core of the task force until the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944.

He was killed in the same battle by a US air attack.
