Nagato was launched in 1919 and was one of the most powerful battleships in the world during the interwar period. The ship represents the first generation of Japanese “super dreadnought” battleships, equipped with powerful 410 mm guns. It took part in operations in the Pacific during World War II, serving as Admiral Yamamoto’s flagship during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Although its combat role declined over time, Nagato remained a symbol of IJN strength until the end of the war.

The Fujimi model version accurately reproduces the historic construction details, including the bridge, main and secondary artillery, and the ship’s fittings consistent with the early 1940s appearance. Thanks to the inclusion of the hull bottom and display base, this model stands out for its presentation options compared to competing 1/700 scale kits.

We especially recommend this model to World War II history enthusiasts, naval aficionados, and collectors of Japanese warship models. Its level of detail and quality of workmanship will meet the expectations of demanding modelers seeking realistic and aesthetically pleasing replicas for their collections.
