It was launched in 1917 and took an active part in World War II operations. During modernization between 1934 and 1936, it received upgraded weaponry and armor. In 1943, Hyuga was rebuilt into an aviation battleship, which allowed it to use both its main artillery and reconnaissance or bomber aircraft. The ship participated in, among others, the Battle of Leyte and performed homeland defense duties for the Japanese islands until 1945, when it was sunk by American aircraft.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlbum Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80 pages of detailed English-language descriptions and drawings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs many as 146 high-quality 3D renders showing Hyuga in every detail, from various periods of service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation based on archival sources and technical materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cross-sections of the hull and armaments, excellent support for modelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Kagero 16071 publication is an excellent source material for modelers assembling plastic models in 1\/350, 1\/700 scale, or others related to the Japanese navy of the World War II era.
