Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the battleship Mikasa in her form of 1905, that is, from the period when the ship served as a pre-dreadnought with a pair of heavy gun turrets and a numerous secondary battery. The 1:200 scale places the model among the large ship projects: the superstructures, the boat deck, the funnels, the masts and the articulation of the sides can be worked up to a degree that smaller scales do not allow. It is a build for a longer time and with room for accessories.
Mikasa was a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy from the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, built in Britain. Technically she belonged to the typical pre-dreadnoughts: the main armament was heavy guns in two rotating turrets fore and aft, completed by a secondary battery in casemates, the propulsion was by steam engines with coal-fired boilers, and the tall silhouette with two funnels and fighting masts matches that. The designation 1905 on the model refers to the particular state of the fittings and armament in that year.
Decide right at the start whether you will build the model full-hull on a stand or waterline; it affects both the setting out of the hull and the choice of base. Glue the hull in parts and even the joints out with filler and sanding; on large parts internal bracing helps. Paint the deck before the superstructures go onto it, and handle the transitions between the wooden deck and the dark side with masking. A period finish with a dark hull, light superstructures and funnels in a different color takes a clear boundary, so spray in layers and let the paint dry thoroughly between them. At the end come the masts and the rigging from a thin thread; photo-etched railings, ladders and wooden decks for ship models are sold separately and take the result furthest.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
