This is a 1/700 scale polyurethane kit of the Japanese Navy Battleship Mikasa (as it appeared during the Battle of the Sea of Japan) made by Pit-Road. Scale: 1/700 Series: High Mold Series (HM-10) Main Parts: Polyurethane cast and metal parts Features: Etched parts are included for detailed expression. This is a garage kit released in 1993. It was made of the then-popular polyurethane cast. Unlike styrene plastic models, assembly requires a certain level of skill. As a garage kit, it has a relatively high circulation, so I think its collectibility is low. Although it's a kit from over 30 years ago, the detailed expression, such as the chrysanthemum crest on the bow, is, as expected, from Pit-Road. The box shows deterioration due to aging, both inside and out, possibly due to insufficient storage conditions. The parts are in good condition. I recommend this to modelers who actually want to assemble it, rather than for collection. Please purchase only if you agree with the above. Immediate purchase is OK. Thank you for viewing.
