Product introduction Tamiya 1/700 Waterline Series No.223 Japanese Navy Aircraft Carrier Zuikaku Attack on Pearl Harbor plastic model. [Reproducing the heroic appearance during the attack on Pearl Harbor] At the time of the Pacific War, the Japanese Navy's Zuikaku was said to be an ideal aircraft carrier with a good balance of speed, payload, and defense. It was planned in 1930, when the Washington Disarmament Treaty expired, and was completed in September 1940, just before the outbreak of war. The design was not subject to various restrictions imposed by treaties, and was able to easily meet the Navy's requirements. Zuikaku, along with her sister ship Shokaku, was assigned to the 5th Air Squadron and participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 8, 1945. It was a glorious first battle, with all of the attack squadrons returning home with great success. This was followed by the Battle of Ceylon Island in April 1947 and the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, sinking the British aircraft carrier Hermis and the American aircraft carrier Lexington, respectively. After that, the battles continued to include the Second Battle of the Solomons, the Battle of the South Pacific, and the Battle of the Marianas. In October 1945, he fought until the end of his life at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the last battle of the Combined Fleet.
