COBI-4851 IJN AKAGI WW2 Aircraft Carrier 1927-1942

The aircraft carrier AKAGI was one of the most important ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. It was part of the Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet. Akagi was one of six aircraft carriers that participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which began the war in the Pacific. It also participated in the Battle of Midway, during which it was sunk in June 1942 by American aircraft. Its sinking was a key moment that influenced the further course of the war, unfavorably for Japan.

The ship model created by COBI was produced in 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 historical ship as faithfully as possible and retains all its important features. A very interesting design solution is two movable aircraft elevators that we can raise and lower.

The Akagi aircraft carrier has many moving parts such as propellers, rudders, rotating turrets and gun barrels that can be raised and lowered. On the deck of the aircraft carrier you can place the 5 colorful mini planes with prints included in the set! The set also includes a very stable and aesthetic black display stand with a plate with the ship's name and scale printed on it.

We recommend this large model primarily to veteran collectors and fans of blocks who are not afraid of long hours of construction! The ship does not require gluing or painting because its entire body and all parts are made of COBI building blocks with beautiful prints. Thanks to the intuitive step-by-step instructions, the construction process is simple and straightforward. And since we include over 3,500 elements, we guarantee a multi-hour construction process with a truly spectacular result!
