The Fujimi 451664 KG-41 Japanese Navy Aircraft Carrier Amagi Full Hull 1/700 scale model is a unique offering for hobbyists and collectors passionate about ship modeling, especially regarding the Japanese fleet from World War II. The precisely reproduced Amagi aircraft carrier captures the specific architecture and details of this unique Japanese Navy project – Kaiser Kaigun, which, unfortunately, was not completed before the end of the war.

History and use of the original

The Amagi vessel belonged to the Unryū class, one of the last types of aircraft carriers built by Japan during World War II. Construction of the ship began at Mitsubishi shipyard in Nagasaki in October 1942, but the vessel was not completed before the end of hostilities. Amagi was one of the symbols of the desperate attempt to restore the Imperial Navy’s air power after losing ships during the Pacific battles. In 1945, during American air raids on Kure, the vessel was severely damaged and later sank.
