Description

--Compatible kit for early type (1927-34) and medium type (1934-35). --The state before the 20 cm twin turret is installed immediately after completion cannot be reproduced. --Akagi was completed in 1927 at Kure Arsenal. --Along with Kaga, it was the first large aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy based on the Washington Treaty, and was given a distinctive outfit. ――The flight deck is a three-stage type, which is unique to the Japanese Navy. The lower tier is the main departure deck, and the upper tier is the departure and arrival deck. --The middle tier was not used as a flight deck due to the expansion of the bridge and the installation of two 20 cm twin turrets. ――Since a large chimney inclined downward on the starboard side and a small upright chimney were installed, the flight deck on the uppermost stage was installed with the center line shifted to the port side. ――In 1935, a major modernization renovation was started at the Sasebo Arsenal, and the entire flight deck was redesigned. ――It is a completely new mold kit that makes full use of the latest technology and design based on the latest materials. --Before the major modernization renovation, Akagi from the three-deck era will be made into a kit. ――The structure of the underside of the deck is realistically reproduced in every detail. --The carrier-based aircraft comes with a 9-type carrier-based fighter and a 13-type No. 2 carrier-capable attack aircraft (6 aircraft each).
