| If your looking to upgrade your Hasegawa Akagi, then look no further than Hasegawa. They have produced their own set and it is a perfect match for the kit. | ||
| DECK | ||
| The deck is laser cut on a thin wooden laminate. The planking is very fine and the appearance is like wood without the problems associated with an overscale wood grain appearance. The deck pieces are provided in two separate parts, both with cutouts for the elevators and deck fittings. Note the inclusion of rain gutters along the edges. | Click images
