Fujimi 600550 IJN Aircraft Battleship Haruna 1944 Sho Ichigo Operation 1/350

For modelers seeking a top-class replica of a historic warship, we recommend the Fujimi 600550 IJN Aircraft Battleship Haruna 1944 Sho Ichigo Operation in 1/350 scale. This exceptional plastic model kit precisely recreates the Japanese aircraft battleship "Haruna" from the 1944 Sho Ichigo Operation—one of the largest land campaigns conducted by Japanese forces during World War II.

The "Haruna", part of the Kongo class, entered service with the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1915. She served during World War I and was modernized in the interwar period. During World War II, she played a key role as a battleship escorting aircraft carriers, taking part in many significant Pacific battles such as the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the Leyte campaign. In 1944, during the Sho Ichigo operation, the ship supported ground operations in China, and her final fate was sealed by American bomber raids in 1945.
