49502 - Hasegawa - 1/700 Hiwawamaru Hospital Ship 

The Hasegawa 49502 1/700 Hiwawamaru Hospital Ship is a detailed 1/700 scale model kit of the Imperial Japanese Navy hospital ship Hiwawamaru, used during World War II.

Designed for medical evacuation and treatment at sea, hospital ships like Hiwawamaru played a vital humanitarian role, providing care for wounded personnel away from the front lines. This Hasegawa kit accurately recreates the vessel’s distinctive white hull, red cross markings, and clean superstructure design, reflecting its non-combat medical purpose.

With fine molding and accurate proportions, this kit offers a unique addition to naval collections, representing a rarely modeled support vessel of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
