Historical Collection WWII - Akagi Aircraft Carrier

The aircraft carrier AKAGI was one of the most important ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War. It was part of the Japanese Navy’s 1st Air Fleet. The Akagi was one of six aircraft carriers that took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which triggered the war in the Pacific. It also took part in the Battle of Midway, where it was sunk by American aircraft in June 1942. Its sinking was a decisive moment that adversely affected the further course of the war for Japan.

The ship model created by COBI has been produced on a scale of 1:300. It consists of 3,573 elements and is 87 cm long. Thanks to the use of the latest available elements and advanced construction techniques, the model reflects the proportions of the historic ship as faithfully as possible and retains all key features. A very interesting design feature is the two movable aircraft elevators, which can be raised and lowered. The Akagi aircraft carrier features numerous moving parts such as propellers, rudders, rotating turrets and gun barrels, which can be raised and lowered. On the deck of the aircraft carrier, we can place 5 colourful mini-aircraft with decals, which are included in the set! The set also includes a very sturdy and attractive black display stand with a plaque bearing the ship’s name and scale.

We particularly recommend this large model to experienced collectors and fans of building blocks who aren’t put off by hours of building! The ship requires neither gluing nor painting, as its entire hull and all elements are made from printed COBI building blocks. Thanks to the intuitive, step-by-step instructions, the building process is simple and straightforward. With over 3,500 elements, we guarantee a building process lasting several hours with a truly spectacular result!
