Ijn aircraft carrier akagi battle of midway limited edition Hasegawa 1:350. Akagi was a Japanese aircraft carrier keeled in 1920, launched in November 1925, and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy in March 1927. The ship was 260.7 m long, 31.3 m wide, and her total displacement was 41,300 tons. The maximum speed of the aircraft carrier Akagi was around 30-31 knots and her main armament consisted of 91 aircraft on board. Originally, Akagi, like another Japanese aircraft carrier, Kaga, was built as a liner under the "8+8" fleet expansion program, but due to international commitments by the Tokyo government, the work was interrupted and the hull had to be scrapped. Ultimately, however, it was decided to build an aircraft carrier on the largely finished hull, which actually happened. At the time of entry into service, Akagi had as many as three flight decks, but with the development of aircraft technology it was decided to completely rebuild her, which took place in 1935-1938. As a result, the hull shape was radically changed and only one flight deck was preserved. During World War II, Akagi took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and fought in the Bismarck Archipelago in early 1942 supporting the Rabaul landings. In April of this year, she also took part in the famous gathering of the Japanese fleet in the Indian Ocean. It also took part in the Battle of Midway (June 1942) where it was sunk by American carrier aircraft.

TAMIYA MOGAMI JAPANESE AIRCRAFT CARRYING CRUISER – PLASTIC MODEL TO BUILD – 78021 1:350 SCALE

Mogami was a Japanese heavy cruiser whose keel was laid in 1931, launched in March 1934, and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy in July 1935. The ship's length was 201 m, the beam was 18 m, and the actual displacement, after modifications, was 13,400 tons. The maximum speed of the cruiser Mogami was approximately 34–35 knots. At the outbreak of World War II, the main armament consisted of ten 203 mm guns in five twin turrets, and the additional armament included eight 127 mm guns and twelve 610 mm torpedo tubes. Mogami was the first cruiser of the type to bear the same name, namely Mogami. Cruisers of this type were originally built lightly to meet the requirements of the Washington Disarmament Treaty of 1922. In addition, at the time of launch, they displaced only 9,500 tons, instead of the 10,000 tons stipulated by this treaty for cruisers. At the same time, they had powerful artillery in the form of as many as 15 155 mm guns in five three-gun turrets! However, Japanese designers assumed a later retrofit of this type of vessel with 203 mm guns already at the design stage, which in fact happened later. As one of the first Japanese ships, welding techniques were used in their construction, but due to the lack of experience of shipyards in this field, it led to operational problems, as well as the wrong center of gravity. In the course of modernization, these defects were removed on all vessels of this type. The battle course of the cruiser Mogami in World War II began in December 1941 with the support of Japanese actions in the area of ​​French Indochina. At the turn of 1941/1942, Mogami continued to support and cover the Japanese landings, but already in today's Indonesia. In February 1942, the cruiser fought in the Sunda Strait. She also took part in the Battle of Midway (June 1942), where she hit the side of the cruiser "Mikuma" while making a turn. Due to severe damage, she was directed to Japan, where the aft artillery towers were removed and the number of carried seaplanes was increased. The cruiser Mogami sank on October 25, 1944 during the Battle of Leyte Bay. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

GERMAN BATTLESHIP TIRPITZ 1/350 TAMIYA 717MM X 103MM The Tirpitz was a battleship of the German Kriegsmarine, the second and last unit of the Bismarck class. It was designed, together with its sister ship Bismarck, to be the spearhead of the German navy. Entering service long after the outbreak of the Second World War, the ship participated in very few war actions, spending most of its life hiding in the Norwegian fjords from Allied attacks; in fact, it served as a "fleet in being", that is, keeping a large amount of enemy forces busy due to its potential danger. After the sinking of its sister ship Bismarck, it was nicknamed by the Norwegians "The Lonely Queen of the North" (Den ensomme Nordens Dronning). We do not ship to the Canary Islands.
