Historical Context – Akagi

The Akagi aircraft carrier was one of the most important ships of the Japanese fleet during World War II. It was famous for its participation in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and operations in the Pacific. Known for its distinctive three-level superstructure, Akagi symbolizes the might of the Japanese wartime navy. The original rear columns played a key role in supporting the aft section of the flight deck and were one of the most challenging elements to faithfully replicate in miniature.
