About product

The battleship Hiei from the Warship Next line in 1:700 scale

A kit of the Japanese fast battleship Hiei from the manufacturer Fujimi in the Warship Next line. The parts are molded in color and snap together — the model can be finished without glue and without painting, which makes it an ideal entry into the world of ship models. More experienced builders will easily lift it with a wash and add-on detail.

The real subject

Hiei was the second ship of the Kongo class, completed in 1914. After being disarmed under the interwar treaties she served as a training ship, but at the end of the 1930s she went through a major rebuild into a fast battleship — and her new tower superstructure served as the test pattern for the bridges of the Yamato-class ships. During the war she escorted carrier groups at the attack on Pearl Harbor and at Midway. On the night of 12 to 13 November 1942 she was heavily damaged in the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal and sunk the following day — the first Japanese battleship lost in the Second World War.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and clean up the marks left by the sprue gates lightly. The color division of the parts matches reality, so even an unpainted model looks convincing; a fine dark wash will bring out the decks and the superstructures.

Who the model is for

  • For beginners — a build without glue and painting
  • For collectors of the Kongo class and of the ships off Guadalcanal
  • For modelers looking for a quick and striking build

The kit is supplied unassembled. The parts are molded in color and snap together without glue; paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
