Hiyo showed up just barely too late for Midway, fought in the Guadalcanal campaign but missed the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands due to a generator fire, and exploded at the Battle of the Philippine Sea. In between, she went through numerous small battles, ran gauntlets of US submarines, and was constantly having to load new, ever-more-green air wings. This limited edition kit features new airplane parts plus decals for Aircraft Carriers Hiyo and Junyo. Photo etched parts set available separately (HSGS4097). Shape up and ship out
