Fujimi 433172 TOKU-99 EX-1 Photo-Etched Parts for IJN Heavy Cruiser Ibuki 1/700

The Fujimi 433172 TOKU-99 EX-1 photo-etched parts set is designed for advanced detailing of the IJN Ibuki heavy cruiser model in 1/700 scale. This product was created for demanding modelers looking for the highest level of detail and realism when building Japanese warships from World War II.

The IJN Ibuki was a heavy cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, belonging to the Ibuki class. Construction of this ship began during World War II, but due to shifting wartime priorities, it was never completed. The ship was meant to be one of the best-armed heavy cruisers of the Japanese fleet and, like other vessels in this class, was designed for operations in Pacific waters. Work on the Ibuki was halted in 1945, and the hull was eventually scrapped after the end of the war.

The Fujimi 433172 TOKU-99 EX-1 photo-etched set features high-quality parts made from thin brass sheet. Precise engraving allows you to significantly improve the appearance of the model, offering realistic details such as railings, scaffolding, ladders, winches, steps, and deck equipment. With perfect fit to the Fujimi 1/700 scale model, the set enables faithful recreation of the IJN Ibuki’s unique features—difficult to achieve with traditional plastic parts.
