About the IJN Junyo aircraft carrier: IJN Junyo was one of the aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy that participated in many operations during World War II. It was built on the basis of a passenger ship and converted into an aircraft carrier, which was a common practice at that time to quickly increase the fleet of aircraft carriers. Junyo participated in battles in the Pacific, including the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Its design and equipment were typical of Japanese aircraft carriers of that period, making it an interesting subject for modelers and historians.
