Plastic Ship Model Assembly Kit 1/700 FH46 IJN Light Cruiser SAKO Full Hull Model IJN Light Cruiser SAKO" is now available in the Imperial Navy series with 2pcs 25mm machine gun included! The light cruiser "Sakeko" was the fourth ship of the Agano class, started construction at the Sasebo Naval Arsenal in November 1942, and completed in November 1944 at the end of the war. The Agano class was planned as the flagship of the torpedo squadron, and was characterized by its modern appearance and armament, which were distinctly different from the 5,500-ton class ships that had been built up to that time. The main guns were equipped with three 15cm cannons and two newly developed 8cm long anti-aircraft guns. Sakeko was completed in the month following the Battle of Leyte, and the Allied Fleet was unable to carry out organized operations. She was moved from Sasebo to Kure and engaged in training in the western part of the Inland Sea, but had no chance to play an active role, and was sent to Maizuru in the month before the end of the war. The war ended as it did. After the war, she was used as a demobilized transport ship and went back and forth to foreign countries, and in July 1946, she was used as an atomic bomb test ship at the Bikini Atoll and sank. The product reproduces the figure equipped with No. 21, 22, and 13 electric search since its completion. The shape of the modern Agano type, which is different from the flow of Japanese light cruisers up to that time, is reproduced in its entirety. The instruction manual has been redesigned to make it easier to read and understand. The product is a full hull specification that can reproduce the bottom of the ship, and comes with a pedestal to enjoy decorating after completion. The 25mm machine gun includes both conventional one-piece parts and more precise two-piece parts. The 25mm machine gun has a two-piece construction, with the gunmetal barrel and base painted in the color of the ship's body for easy reproduction. Two types of decals are included that include the warship flag, the Nissho flag, and the markings of the ship's aircraft. Please note that colors may look different from the actual product due to monitor and image resolution issues. (From Fujimi Models website)
