Hasegawa 1/350 Mikasa IJN Battleship - The Battle of the Japan Sea, Z21 plastic model kit

1/350 Z21 Hasegawa Mikasa IJN Battleship - The Battle of the Japan Sea

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Mint

Still factory sealed. Superbly molded and detailed full-hull model has 420 pieces. Mikasa was the only ship of her class and took part in the Russo-Japanese war. In the late 1890s the Japanese shipyards were not quite yet ready for such a project, so the Navy contracted with Vickers in Great Britain to build this ship, which is actually a highly modified Formidable class. Mikasa saw a great amount of action at Port Arthur and the Battle of the Yellow Sea. She was preserved as a museum ship in 1923. Mikasa suffered from neglect during and after WWII, but was restored to her former glory in the 1950s after a campaign led by the Japan Times and Admiral Chester Nimitz. The Mikasa is the only surviving pre-dreadnought in the world.
