History:
The Japanese Empire had plans to build three huge battleships: Yamato, scheduled for completion on December 16, 1941; Musashi, scheduled for completion on August 5, 1942: And Shinano, which was converted to an aircraft carrier and initially scheduled for completion in January 1945. The conversion was primarily caused due to losses of Japanese Carrier Forces at the battles of Midway and the Coral Sea.
This was to be Japans great hope to regain power over the allies, but 10 days into its maiden voyage it was sunk by US forces.
This model is probably the best looking and best looking carrier anywhere at 6ft you will not go unnoticed. This is quality throughout and I would be extremely surprised if you ever meet another one on any lake at anytime. The modellers model.
