[Product Introduction]
HASEGAWA 1/700 Japanese Aircraft Carrier Akagi Three Tier Deck. Aircraft carrier Akagi was completed at Kure Arsenal in 1927. Along with Kaga, she is the first large aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy based on the Washington Treaty. The flight deck was a three-tiered structure unique to the Japanese Navy, with the lower deck serving as a departure deck and the upper deck serving as a departure and landing deck. The middle stage was not used as a flight deck due to the expansion of the bridge and the installation of two 20cm twin turrets. Because a large chimney slanted downwards on the starboard side and a small upright chimney were installed, the top flight deck is also unique in that its centerline is shifted to the port side. In 1935, a major modernization renovation was carried out at the Sasebo Arsenal, and the ship's hull was completely redesigned with a full flight deck. The kit reproduces the three-tier flight deck era before major modernization renovations. The parts configuration is selectable between the early model (*The state immediately after completion before the 20cm twin turrets were installed cannot be reproduced.) and the mid-term model (1934-1935), which had a small temporary bridge installed on the starboard side of the top deck. . Carrier-based aircraft include six Type 90 carrier-based fighters and six Type 13 Type-2 carrier-based attack aircraft. Specifications ◇Early model (1927-34) ◇Middle model (1934-35)
