This is a plastic model kit, and assembly is required.
This Chibimaru Fleet plastic model kit recreates Kongou as she appeared during the Leyte Gulf battle in 1944, equipped with the Type 21 radar. The Chibimaru Fleet series features cute, super-deformed hulls and a simplified assembly process that makes the kit enjoyable for both adults and children.
- Snap-fit assembly, no glue required
