The Mikasa battleship model is a faithful reproduction of the historic vessel, which was the last and most modern ship ordered for the Japanese fleet from the British Vickers shipyard. The ship gained fame during the most significant battles of the Russo-Japanese War, especially at Port Arthur and during the pivotal Battle of Tsushima, deciding Japan’s naval victory and shifting the balance of power in the Far East at the beginning of the 20th century.

Mikasa was distinguished by increased armor and firepower, making this model exceptionally interesting from both a historical and technical perspective. The 1/200 scale kit features outstanding detail on the artillery turrets, deck fittings, superstructures, and main and secondary armament.
