Navis Neptun 1/1250 1213 IJN Shokaku Japanese Fleet Carrier Pearl Harbor Attack 1941
Shokaku is a metal, waterline, 1/1250 scale model of the Japanese aircraft carrier in 1941/42 by Neptun 1213.
Her sistership, Zuikaku, is modelled in late WW2 form, see Neptun 1213A.
Probably the best design of aircraft carrier from Japan before 1941, Shokaku missed the battle of Midway because of damage in the Coral Sea. She was lost defending the defensive perimeter of islands only a few months later.
