Sommario/riassunto

The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types ... This volume covers the two related classes of Japanese 14 in.-gunned battleships, originally built during the First World War but subsequently totally reconstructed. They are famous for the towering forward superstructure, usually described as a pagoda bridge, that they featured when rebuilt. Ise and Hyuga underwent further reconstruction during the Second World War to emerge as a unique hybrid of battleship and aircraft carrier in a desperate attempt to compensate for fleet carriers sunk earlier in the war.
