The motif of this product is based on the appearance of the ship in 1938, soon after its completion, and in 1941 at the beginning of the Pacific War. The product is based on the appearance of the ship in 1941 when it was first completed, and in 1941 at the beginning of the Pacific War. Newly designed parts are provided to unify the differences in the reproduction of equipment, etc., depending on the time of product release, and some parts are also divided in consideration of painting work. The 12.7cm anti-aircraft gun A-1 is subdivided into 4 parts, and the modeling resolution has been improved from the existing 2 parts. The 12.7cm anti-aircraft gun A-1 Kai-2 with soot shield is subdivided into 4 parts, and the modeling resolution has been improved. The 9-meter cutter on the short boat deck has been made into two parts for painting. The 12-meter inner gunboat has a canvas and wheelhouse/machine room canopy as separate parts for painting. Each part is painted and assembled and glued afterwards. Newly prepared chrysanthemum crest on the bow. The boat body and the floor of the loading area are separate parts in a 3-part configuration, and can be assembled after painting, eliminating the need for masking. The 12-meter inner gunboat mount mounted on the stern is molded with uneven shapes and light holes for a more precise modeling. Two types of flight deck markings are prepared for 1938 and 1941, and the red identification circle for the MI operation in 1942 is also included. Decals with the aft ship's name (in warship colors) have been added. The Type 96 25mm machine gun is now standardized as a two-part part that reduces painting/separation work.

Elevators and wind shields are provided as separate parts. The anchor chain deck and short boat deck are delicately sculpted with non-slip split patterns and linoleum hold-downs.
