Fujimi 430386 Pacific War 1st Fleet, 1st Squadron [Mutsu & Nagato] Set in 1/700 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit that allows you to recreate two legendary Japanese battleships: Mutsu and Nagato. It is a great choice for modelers interested in naval history and the navy of World War II.

Models included: Mutsu & Nagato

The battleships Nagato and Mutsu belonged to the Nagato-class, the most modern battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, commissioned in 1920 and 1921, respectively. Japan used both vessels in operations in the Pacific, both during the interwar period and during World War II from 1941–1945. Nagato served as the flagship during the attack on Pearl Harbor, leading the Japanese fleet from its deck. Mutsu tragically sank in 1943 after a catastrophic explosion at the Kure naval base. Both ships are considered among the most recognizable symbols of the strength of the Japanese fleet during World War II.
