MK1 Design MS-35037 IJN Radar Set 1/350 – Photo-Etched Detail Set for Imperial Japanese Navy Ships

The MK1 Design MS-35037 IJN Radar Set 1/350 is a high-quality aftermarket upgrade designed for World War II Japanese ship models, made from precision photo-etched brass in 1/350 scale. This product is dedicated to enhancing the details of models representing ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), such as battleships, cruisers, or destroyers used between 1941 and 1945.

The set includes the most characteristic types of radars used by the IJN fleet during World War II – including types 21, 22, and 13, which played a crucial role in detecting surface and aerial targets during Pacific engagements such as the Battle of Leyte or the fights for Guadalcanal. Historically, the introduction of radar allowed the Japanese to partially modernize their ships and improve combat capabilities during night battles and in conditions of limited visibility.

Set contents:

• Precisely etched brass parts for IJN radar components
• Several types of radar antennas, typical for mast tops and superstructures of Japanese ships from the second half of the war
• Detailed assembly instructions – enabling correct placement and construction of each part

The material used for production – metal (photo-etched brass) – is characterized by exceptional detail and faithful reproduction of small parts, guaranteeing a far superior final effect compared to standard plastic or even resin components from basic kits. The brass parts are also excellent for conversions and customization of larger ships, giving the superstructure of the model a realistic appearance.
