Commissioned in 1915, it served throughout World War I and the interwar period. However, it gained greatest fame during World War II, participating in numerous key operations, including actions in the Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and Operation Sho-1—which was an attempt to thwart the American invasion of the Philippines in October 1944. Ultimately, the battleship was sunk in Kure harbor during Allied air raids in July 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/700\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (1939–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality plastic, photo-etched parts for maximum detail precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e detailed replica of the long deck and superstructures, realistically rendered armament, photo-etched accessories providing optimal representation of railings, radars, masts, and fine details typical for the late-war battleship version\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic ship model kit with photo-etched parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlue and paints not included\u003c\/strong\u003e, separate purchase required for full assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe recommend Fujimi 460642 both to advanced collectors and experienced naval modelers,\u003c\/strong\u003e who appreciate historical accuracy as well as the challenge of assembling photo-etched details.
