Aoshima 06654 Japanese Battleship Nagato 1/700 is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the legendary battleship Nagato in a precise 1/700 scale. This set is a faithful miniature of one of the most important ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Nagato was the flagship of the Japanese fleet and a symbol of its naval power in the first half of the 20th century.

Brief history of the ship: The battleship Nagato (長門) was launched in 1919 and entered service in 1920. It was used in all key campaigns in the Pacific during World War II, serving as the flagship during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Nagato was distinguished by its modern design, powerful armament—the world’s first 410 mm guns—and strong armor protection. It served until the very end of the war, participating in operations up to 1945. Ultimately, it was sunk during American atomic tests at Bikini Atoll.
