Aircraft carrier Akagi begins construction as a battlecruiser based on the 88-hull project.

・The product is modeled after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1942 and the attack on Midway Island in June 1944.
- This is the figure after the major renovation completed in 1933, and the markings (decals) on the flight deck are prepared as in 1944.
・During the MI operation in June 1945, there was also a marking (Japanese flag) on the flight deck for identifying friend or foe, and it was also made during the Midway Island capture operation.
