[Product Introduction]
FUJIMI 1/700 Imperial Navy Series No.43 EX-1 Japanese Navy Aircraft Carrier Unryu Furuhalha Model Special Edition (with photo-etched parts). The Imperial Navy series ``Aircraft Carrier Unryu'' is now available with photo-etched parts! Unryu was completed in August 1945 at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal as the first Unryu class ship. Planned as the 302nd ship according to the wartime construction plan of 1944, construction was hurried to compensate for the loss of aircraft carriers after the Battle of Midway, and based on the design of the aircraft carrier Hiryu, the bridge moved to starboard, the same two-rudder system as the aircraft carrier Soryu, The number of elevators was reduced from three to two, and progress was made with some revisions. Since its completion, the Unryu has been painted with anti-submarine camouflage of color 2 on the outer side and color 22 on the outer side, and is seen in documentary photographs with a deep wartime appearance. At the time of her construction, most of her carrier's air power had been lost in the Battle of the Mariana Sea, and she was unable to prepare enough carrier-based aircraft to meet her carrying capacity, so she continued to train and stand by in the inland sea. In December 1945, she set sail on an emergency transport of supplies to the Philippines, and one of the vessels was also loaded with the suicide plane Ohka. During a transport operation, the ship was torpedoed by a US submarine in the East China Sea and sank after a short life of just four months. The product is a full-hull specification that can reproduce the bottom of the ship, and comes with a pedestal that can be displayed and enjoyed after completion. The molded parts of the ship's hull are light green, taking into consideration the exterior paint color of No. 22. The hidden type 21 electric search and two hidden type searchlights on the flight deck can be selected between retracted and deployed states. Although the flight deck is painted with latex, which tends to be monotonous, it has been designed with a wealth of information, including a variety of sculptural expressions such as eye rings for anchoring airplanes, landing brake cables, and expansion joints. You can choose from two types of production years. The machine gun turret, turret cannon, and sponson that were added later are made into separate parts, making it possible to reproduce both the completed and final versions. A camouflage decal is included so that you can easily reproduce the appearance of the flight deck being painted with camouflage. A variety of carrier-based aircraft are included. There are four types of carrier-based aircraft: the ``Zero Fighter Type 52'', ``Zero Fighter Type 21 Bomber'', ``Comet'', and ``Tenzan'' owned by the 601st Air Corps, which existed as a carrier-based unit after its completion. The ``Kamikaze Aircraft Ohka'' that was loaded in the hangar during the transport operation at the time of the sinking is included. The 25mm twin machine gun includes both traditional one-piece structural parts and more precise two-piece parts. Contains photo-etched parts that can be precisely expressed down to the details that are difficult to reproduce with injection parts. Photo-etched parts reproduce the 13th and 21th electric probes, landing brake cables, handrails, etc.
