IJN Equipments Set A 1:350 Hasegawa 72118
High-quality enhancement set in 1:350 scale, intended for modelers building replicas of Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) ships from the World War II period. The Hasegawa 72118 (QG18) set offers precisely manufactured anti-aircraft armament elements and advanced optical instruments and fire control systems, which significantly raise the detail level of the base model.
Set contents include a wide range of components:
- Anti-aircraft guns: 25 mm Type 96 in triple, twin, and single variants.
- Dual-purpose artillery: 12.7 cm Type 89 (Type A1 twin mount).
- Fire control systems: Rangefinders Type 94, Type 95 (for machine guns), and Type 91.
- Optical instruments: Stand binoculars, 4.5m and 1.5m rangefinders, and 12 cm measuring telescope turrets.
- Deck equipment: 110 cm searchlights with controllers, compasses, winches (large and small), paravanes, and rope drums.
- Ventilation elements and ammunition boxes for 25 mm guns.
Historical background:
The Imperial Japanese Navy placed enormous importance on optical and fire control systems, which in the initial phase of the Pacific War were considered among the best in the world. The 25 mm Type 96 guns constituted the standard light anti-aircraft armament of almost all Japanese units, from destroyers to Yamato-class battleships. As the conflict progressed, the number of these positions on ships was drastically increased, making this set an essential addition when building models from the later period of the war.
The set contains plastic elements and a sheet of photo-etched parts, allowing for exceptional sharpness of detail, unattainable with standard polystyrene injection molding.
