Hobbytime Review
The junyo was a Japanese light aircraft carrier, whose spine was laid in March 1939, launched in June 1941 and was put into service in the Japanese Empire Navy in May 1942. The ship was 219.3 meters long, 26.7 meters wide and had a full passenger capacity. 24,200 tons displacement. The maximum speed of the junyo aircraft carrier was around 25-26 nautical miles and the main weapon consisted of 42 to 48 aircraft.
Initially, Junyo was built as a luxury ocean ship called Kashiwara Maru for one of the Japanese transport lines. However, upon the approach of the war in the Pacific and the desire of the Navy Command to expand its own air force, it was purchased by the passenger ship Fleet, which has not yet been completed and rebuilt as the aircraft carrier. Similar to Twin Hio. A characteristic feature of Junyo was that the funnel was bent away from the main axis of the ship to improve the conditions of the relatively large and high superstructure and air force on the starboard side. Aircraft carrier Junyo's war career started very fast - in May 1942, immediately after being admitted to service, was directed to operations in the Aleut region. Later, in October 1942, he joined the Battle of Santa Cruz and fought in the Guadalcanal region. On June 10, 1943, the Junyo was seriously damaged by an American submarine and forced the carrier to return to Japan for repairs until September. The aircraft carrier Junyo joined the Philippine Sea Battle in June 1944, but managed to return to the base despite the damage. After this war, the aircraft carrier did not take part in the struggle in the Pacific, and he was deployed at Sayo, which was taken over by the Americans from December 1944 to the end of the war. Junyo aircraft carrier was scrapped in August 1947.
About Hasegawa
Hasegawa Corporation (株式会社ハセガワ, Kabushiki Gaisha Hasegawa) is a Japanese company that produces plastic model kits of various vehicles, including aircraft, cars, ships, military vehicles, model armor, model spacecraft and science fiction kits. Hasegawa, headquartered in Shizuoka, does not have such a wide range of products, but competes with his neighbor Tamiya. First of all, Hasegawa kits, which uses polystyrene, are typically very accurate, but still lack the ease of assembly offered by Tamiya Kits, although it is very high.
Hobbico is imported to North America by the Great Planet Model Distributor Department. Hasegawa ended his long -standing agreement with Dragon Models Limited for US distribution in early 2010. Hasegawa also brings Revell to Japan, which sells them to Japan and sells them under both the Revell brand and their own brand label, and Revell often re -boxes for European and North American markets. Hasegawa Kits, which do not have their own paint products series, come with instructions that indicate the use of Gunze Sangyo products, especially GSI Creos brand paints. This is contrary to Tamiya, which determines the use of in -house brands. Hasegawa is known for launching a large number of main products, adding or changing a small number of parts, or changing stickers only for SOE. This strategy allows them to raise the return of their investment in SET tools to the highest level, because the production of such small variations is very low compared to the production cost of the original. Most of such variations are usually published only once.
