Aoshima 00096 IJN Aircraft Carrier Amagi 1/700 – Japanese Aircraft Carrier Plastic Model Kit

The Aoshima 00096 IJN Aircraft Carrier Amagi model in 1/700 scale is a precisely reproduced replica of one of the most intriguing projects of the Japanese Navy from the end of World War II. The Amagi aircraft carrier belonged to the Unryū-class series, which were built as a response to the heavy losses suffered by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the conflict. In reality, Amagi was launched in 1944 but did not enter full combat service due to serious damage inflicted by Allied air forces in July 1945, shortly before Japan's surrender.
