About product

Chibi-Maru Fleet Fuso — a cute battleship kit

Chibi-Maru Fleet Fuso from the Japanese manufacturer Fujimi turns the battleship Fuso into the cute distorted form of the Chibi-Maru line. This is not a scale model — the hull is shortened and the proportions exaggerated, so the most characteristic thing about the original comes out in full: the enormous tower-like pagoda superstructure. Simple construction means a quick build and a rewarding result even for a complete novice.

The real subject

Fuso was the lead ship of her class, built during the First World War as one of the first super-dreadnoughts of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Interwar modernization brought her an extremely tall pagoda superstructure, which makes her one of the most easily recognizable battleships in history. Together with her sister ship Yamashiro she went down in October 1944 in the Battle of Surigao Strait.

Building and painting tips

Start with the hull and assemble the superstructure as a separate unit — it is then easier to paint. Bond the parts with a thin cement for plastic and use acrylics: a gray hull, a darker deck and a fine wash in the intricate pagoda will bring the model beautifully to life. A final matte varnish will unify the surface and protect the paint.

Who the model is for

  • Beginners and children (with adult assistance because of the work with glue)
  • Collectors of the Chibi-Maru line and of the Imperial Japanese Navy
  • Modelers who want a quick project with a striking result

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, it is a deliberately distorted cute version of the ship with no fixed scale, with a shortened hull and simplified shapes.

Yes, the build is simple; because of the work with glue we recommend adult assistance.

Acrylics and a brush are enough — the basis is a gray shade for the hull and the superstructures, and the deck can be set apart with a darker tone.
