FULL HULL IJN BATTLE SHIP FUSO 1944 with metal barrel

Aoshima's Full-Hull Series Gets a Long-Awaited Renewal!!

The outfitting parts have been newly researched and redesigned. By incorporating multiple slide mechanisms into the molds, we've accurately reproduced the intricate details of the 1/700 scale.
We proudly present the reborn, more precise 1/700 scale warship (full-hull model) series.

＜Additional Mold＞
The lead ship of the Fuso-class battleships, Fuso, is distinguished by her unique large superstructure. Completed in 1917 during World War I, she underwent several modernizations before taking part in the Pacific War.
In 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, she advanced into Surigao Strait as part of Nishimura’s force. Engaging the U.S. fleet alongside her sister ship Yamashiro, she was ultimately sunk in battle.
This kit accurately recreates Fuso in her late Pacific War configuration, featuring significantly enhanced anti-aircraft armament. With a simplified yet well-balanced parts composition, the model is both easy to assemble and highly faithful in detail. Numerous anti-aircraft guns, high-angle guns, and aircraft catapults have been newly designed and included.
