Fujimi 1/700 IJN Series No.29 EX-2 Japanese Battleship Ise Full Hull Model Special Edition (Includes Etched Parts & Wooden Deck Decals) japan NEW

A special edition of the Imperial Navy Series “Aircraft Battleship Ise” featuring etched parts and wooden deck decals! The model is based on the ship's appearance during Operation Sh?-1 (the Battle of Leyte Gulf) in October 1944. The decals include the Hinomaru flags for the ship's aircraft and the naval ensign. The model features a full-hull design that allows for reproduction down to the keel, and includes a display stand for showcasing the finished model. Both the conventional one-piece 25mm twin machine gun parts and the more precise two-piece parts are included. The 25mm machine guns are constructed in two pieces, making it easy to paint the gunmetal-colored barrels and the hull-colored bases separately for accurate reproduction. Etching parts are included to capture even the finest details that are difficult to reproduce with injection-molded parts. The etching parts include handrails, ladders, rudders, catapults, cranes, bridge window frames, boat davits, turntables, anchor chains, hose pipe covers, boat racks, and hatch doors. The wooden deck decals have been surface-treated with a laser cutter to reproduce an irregular wood grain pattern. They are pre-cut to fit the kit’s parts and consist of five sheets. The product features a full-hull design that allows for reproduction down to the keel, and includes a display stand for showcasing the completed model. The 25mm twin machine guns include both the conventional one-piece parts and more precise two-piece parts. The 25mm machine guns are two-piece assemblies, allowing for easy painting with gunmetal for the barrel and the hull color for the base. *Information current as of April 2026.
