Fujimi 1/700 Kan NEXT Series No.2 EX-2 Japanese battleship Musashi (Operation Shoichi-Go Light Gray Specification) with Photo-Etched Parts japan NEW

Musashi, the 4th generation captain and 2nd generation XO, goes out for her final sortie! The figure has been repainted in a bright gray color and etching parts are enclosed! The products are designed with a snap-fit system that requires no glue, making this series of kits distinct from conventional kits. All assembly methods are snap-fit. (except for bonus parts for heavy users). Pre-colored molding materials are used to express the main colors, and details and markings are reproduced with realistic stickers with excellent tracking performance. The hurdle to ship modeling has been lowered dramatically, and you can enjoy the realistic workmanship with ease. The figure can reproduce the last appearance of the ship at the time of Operation Shoichi, which is said to have been “close to white”. Unlike the standard product, the main parts are composed of special parts colored in gray-white. The deck is said to have been painted black at the time of the operation, and the product uses dark gray molding. The bridge, rangefinder, turret, etc. are molded in gray-white to reproduce the light gray color. The signal yard, messenger station, anti-aircraft hood, rear watchtower sponsons, etc., have been reproduced with great attention to detail. A newly designed display stand with a new shape is included. The color of the molding is black and it consists of 4 parts. It can be turned inside out during assembly and used as a parts bin. Unlike the standard version of the product, the top surface of the display stand comes with a striped pattern/wooden deck pattern and a version with mechanical surface engraving. Etching parts are included, which can be used to express details that are difficult to reproduce with injection parts. Two types of etched parts are included, one for each type. The combined size of the two pieces is approx. 116mm x 180mm and contains more than 200 parts including handrail, rattar, ladder, crane, chimney area, No. 21 electric search, catapult, chrysanthemum crest, etc. Please note that colors may look different from the actual product due to monitor and image resolution issues.
