IJN Akagi | ModelSpace

Product in Depth

The Akagi started as a battlecruiser built in 1920, and was converted to an aircraft carrier in 1925. She took part in Japan's war with China in 1939 and also served many operations in World War II. It was finally sunk by Japanese destroyers at the battle of Midway on June 5, 1942, to avoid the aircraft falling into enemy hands. Get to know one of the 20th Century's most iconic battleships in breathtaking detail. Now is your chance to build your own stunning 1:250 scale model of the IJN Akagi aircraft carrier.

This incredibly detailed, 1:250 scale model of the Akagi measures over a metre long. It features 21 scale-model aircraft and is made up of hundreds of laser-cut wooden parts, die-cast metal parts and photo-etched brass fittings that will give many hours of modelling pleasure.
