Fujimi 115672 MS-35005 I.J.N. Watertight Door Set 1/350 – Photo-Etched Watertight Door Set for Japanese Warships

Fujimi 115672 MS-35005 I.J.N. Watertight Door Set 1/350 is a high-quality set of photo-etched watertight doors designed for the enhancement of 1/350 scale ship models. This product has been developed for modelers looking to increase the realism of their maritime miniatures related to the Imperial Japanese Navy (I.J.N.) from the World War II era.

This set contains precisely made elements of thin photo-etched metal, recreating the classic watertight doors used on the decks of Japanese warships. This type of door was fitted on various IJN vessels – from battleships, cruisers, to destroyers and support ships. They protected against water intrusion into ship compartments during combat and served to safeguard the crew and structural integrity in the event of battle damage. Similar doors can be found, for instance, on the famous Yamato-class battleships, Takao-class heavy cruisers, as well as on numerous destroyers such as Fubuki and Akizuki, which actively participated in the Pacific campaigns from 1939 to 1945.

The components included in Fujimi 115672 are made from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring excellent detail reproduction and ease of assembly. The set contains various types of watertight doors (with frames, fittings, handles), allowing you to individualize the appearance of the hull and superstructures of your models. The photo-etched accessories are especially recommended for upgrading both new and older plastic warship kits in 1/350 scale, not only limited to Fujimi products – compatibility with Tamiya, Hasegawa, and Aoshima models allows them to be widely used in various projects.
