1/700 Fujimi IJN Heavy Cruiser Ibuki

Build an authentic replica of the IJN Heavy Cruiser Ibuki with this highly detailed 1/700 scale model kit from Fujimi. This precision-engineered kit represents one of the most unique vessels in the Imperial Japanese Navy—a heavy cruiser that was converted to an aircraft carrier during construction but never completed. The kit captures Ibuki in her intended heavy cruiser configuration, making it a fascinating addition to any IJN collection.

Key Features:

  • Unique Historical Subject: Represents the Ibuki in her original heavy cruiser design before conversion plans
  • Detailed Superstructure: Precisely molded bridge, mast, and command structures with fine surface details
  • Main Armament: Includes ten 20cm (8-inch) main guns in five twin turrets characteristic of heavy cruisers
  • Secondary Weapons: Detailed anti-aircraft batteries and secondary gun emplacements
  • Quality Engineering: Fujimi's renowned precision molding ensures excellent fit and authentic scale detail
  • Display-Ready: Full waterline hull design perfect for dioramas or standalone display

About the IJN Ibuki:

The Ibuki was the second vessel of the Mogami-class heavy cruisers, originally laid down in 1942. During construction, plans were made to convert her into a light aircraft carrier due to Japan's urgent need for carrier capacity after losses at Midway. However, the conversion was never completed, and she was ultimately scrapped after the war. This kit represents her in the original heavy cruiser configuration as designed.

Perfect For:

  • Experienced modelers seeking unique and historically significant subjects
  • Naval history enthusiasts interested in unconventional warship designs
  • Collectors building a complete IJN cruiser fleet in 1/700 scale
  • Modelers interested in "what-if" and incomplete warship projects
