1/400 S-25-600 Hobby IJN Chickuma Heavy Cruiser Motorized
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Very Rare 'Hobby' of Japan issue of this big 1/400 scale kit. Actually, it measures 1/386 to be more exact. This model is designed for operation in water or static full hull or waterline display. It features a unique bow buoyancy tank so the in the event of flooding, the ship will not sink (the bow will remain above water), complete hardware packet with a steel & brass gear box for dual propeller drive, metal shafts, dual metal left and right handed propellers, battery contacts, switch, wire, universal joints and more, unique interior design that keeps water away from the motor and battery compartments, twin stuffing boxes, realistic 'IJN Hull Red' lower hull and all other parts molded in a very realistic dark gray, black, green and light gray, detailed superstructure, rotating main armament, catapult, float planes with separately molded propellers & floats and more. The kit has never been started. The plastic parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags which include Hobby paper headers; the hardware bag is also still factory sealed. Includes decals and instructions. Hobby did not include the motor in this issue; it had to be purchased separately. Please note that the box has pen writing on the upper right as shown. The molds appear to be from Hobby as they put their name/logo on some interior parts. From the side of the box, Hobby also sold the Doyusha 1/250 Yamato and Mushashi, an unidentified 1/500 scale version of both, three 1/300 scale Japanese Destroyers (perhaps from Tamiya molds) and a 1/400 USS Enterprise that is either from Aurora or a very near copy of it).
