Aoshima 00928 Nagato 1944 Retake 1/700 – Japanese Battleship Model

The Aoshima 00928 Nagato 1944 Retake in 1/700 scale is a precisely recreated plastic model kit representing one of the most famous battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy from World War II. It is a perfect choice for marine technology enthusiasts and military history buffs seeking unique, high-quality scale models.

The Nagato ship was one of the most powerful battleships built by Japan. It became famous as the flagship of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941). This kit portrays the ship as it appeared in 1944, after armament and anti-aircraft system upgrades, making it an authentic depiction of the late Pacific War period. The Nagato battleship served until Japan’s surrender, taking part in numerous operations and being one of the last Japanese battleships to survive the war.
