The Fujimi 116853 IJN Battleship Kii - Photo-Etched Parts (G-up No.115) 1/700 set is a high-quality accessory that significantly enhances the realism and detail of the 1/700 scale Kii battleship replica. This product is designed for advanced modelers and collectors who wish to highlight the historical details of their Japanese battleship miniature.

The Kii-class battleships were designed for the Imperial Japanese Navy as part of the post-World War I fleet expansion program. They were intended as an answer to the growing United States Navy during the interwar period; however, none of the ships were completed due to the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922. These models are an excellent example of advanced naval engineering from the 1920s.

The Fujimi set includes precisely made photo-etched parts from thin metal sheet, including railings, ladders, mast, radar components, and other small construction details. This allows you to upgrade the basic model kit with elements not present in the plastic sprues, significantly increasing the realism of the final effect.

• Material: Thin metal sheet – photo-etched parts
• Set contents: Railings, ladders, signaling devices, mast, small deck equipment components
• Purpose: Supplementation and enhancement of details for the IJN Kii battleship model, compatible with other 1/700 scale models that use Fujimi standards
• Historical period: Interwar period (1920–1922, project unfinished due to disarmament treaty)

My recommendation: I recommend the Fujimi 116853 set to experienced modelers seeking the highest level of detail and expecting faithful reproduction of historical battleship models. This product is not recommended for beginners – it requires precision, experience with cyanoacrylate glue, and skill in working with very small parts.

Build difficulty level: 4/5 – for intermediate and advanced modelers.
