MK1 Design MS-35002 IJN Stair Set 1/350 – Photo-etched Stair Set for Japanese Warships

MK1 Design MS-35002 IJN Stair Set 1/350 is a professional detail-up set dedicated to modelers building Japanese warships in 1/350 scale. This product is intended for use with models of Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) ships, primarily from the World War II era. It allows for significant enhancement of deck details, resulting in a realistic model appearance and increasing the collectible value of the project.

The MK1 Design MS-35002 set includes high-quality photo-etched components made from precisely cut brass sheet. These are miniature ship stairs that can be used when building models of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and other Japanese vessels from the years 1937-1945. The anatomy of these stairs matches actual IJN plans, which is an invaluable benefit for modelers who appreciate authentic replication of even the smallest details.

The photo-etched brass enables a considerable enhancement of details—compared to standard plastic sprues, the subtlety and sharpness of shapes as well as the perforations of the steps are clearly visible. The set ensures not only exceptional durability but also makes assembly much easier thanks to pre-etched bending lines. It is particularly recommended when building models of ships such as the battleship Yamato, Musashi, the cruiser Takao, or the destroyer Akizuki. Stairs were an indispensable part of the superstructure of Japanese warships during WWII, especially in operations like the Battle of Midway and Pacific engagements.
