In the early years of World War II (1938–1943), she served intensively in the Pacific, providing reconnaissance and cover support during major naval operations, such as the initial actions in the South China Sea and engagements in the Pacific Ocean. Chitose was one of the few ships of her class in the Japanese fleet and was later converted into a light aircraft carrier.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct features and build quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModel scale: 1\/700 – subtle, faithfully reproduced construction and armament details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry: Japan – the ship served in the Imperial Japanese Navy\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality polystyrene plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eContents: sprues with small parts, realistic ship details, assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdd-ons: the model does not include photo-etched parts, metal gun barrels, or resin details – this is a solid base for further modifications by advanced modelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit requires assembly and painting – glue and paints are not included in the package\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduct category: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We recommend the \u003cstrong\u003eAoshima 00123 I.J.N.
