Akitsu Maru was a passenger-cargo liner taken over by the Imperial Japanese Army while still under construction and completed in 1942 as a landing craft carrier with a full-length flight deck, making her one of the first purpose-built amphibious assault ships.
She carried troops and landing craft across the Pacific and was later fitted to operate anti-submarine autogyros for convoy escort. She was torpedoed and sunk by the submarine USS Queenfish in November 1944.

Buy this kit along with qualifying components and you get $5 off your ship kit for each qualifying component, up to $35. Add them to your cart to see the discount!
Akitsu Maru runs two shafts, so most builds use two drive ESCs, a pump ESC and a regulator, which takes $20 off the kit. Each button opens that component in the store.
Gun boards, solenoids, tanks and pumps are not part of the combo.
