1:700 IJN Nagato Battleship Model

The Flagship That Witnessed History

The IJN Nagato (長門) is one of the most storied battleships in naval history. As the flagship of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, Nagato was the command vessel from which the order to attack Pearl Harbor was issued on December 7, 1941. This meticulously handcrafted 1:700 scale model captures Nagato in her full wartime glory — a worthy centrepiece for any serious naval collection.

Every detail has been faithfully reproduced by skilled artisans: the distinctive pagoda-style tower mast, the twin-turret 410mm main battery arrangement, and the sweeping hull lines of one of the world's first 16-inch-gun battleships. Display her proudly and own a fragment of the Pacific War's most decisive chapter.

The Legend of Nagato

Commissioned in 1920, Nagato was heralded as the world's most powerful battleship upon completion. She served as Japan's naval symbol for two decades, appearing on postcards and school textbooks. Her bridge was where Yamamoto planned the audacious strike on Pearl Harbor. After surviving the entire Pacific War, Nagato met her end at Bikini Atoll in the 1946 nuclear tests — one of history's most dramatic final chapters for a warship.

An exceptional gift for WWII historians, IJN enthusiasts, and scale model collectors worldwide.
