Fujimi Mokei 1/350 Scale Warship Model Series

Fujimi Mokei Co., Ltd. is a Japanese model manufacturer based in Shizuoka Prefecture.

It produces plastic model kits of a variety of vehicles, including model aircraft, model cars, model ships and model armored vehicles along with historical structures and science fiction kits.

Since "Mokei" means "model" in Japanese, "Fujimi Mokei" is often called "Fujimi Model(s)" in English.

Fujimi was founded in 1948 by Shigekazu Saito and Eiichi Imai as "Fujimi Mokei Kyozaisha", initially producing wooden ship models.

In 1961, it started to produce plastic model kits, and the company name was changed to "Fujimi Mokei Co., Ltd.".

In the 1960s, it released 1/70 and 1/50 scale airplanes, 1/550 scale warships, 1/44 scale tanks, and historical structures in various scales.

In 1970, Fujimi started producing airplane models in 1/72 and 1/48 scales.

In 1971, it started to release the 1:700 scale Waterline series warship models along with three other Shizuoka-based model manufacturers; Tamiya, Hasegawa and Aoshima.

Also in 1971, Fujimi began to produce 1:76 scale World Armour series, competing against Airfix HO/OO scale military models.

In the mid-1970s, it began producing 1:20 and 1:24 scale automobile models.

In 1988, with the bankruptcy of Japanese model manufacturer Nitto, ex-Nitto 1/76 scale military models were added to Fujimi's World Armour series.

In 1992, Fujimi discontinued the Waterline series and reorganized its warship models as the Sea Way Model series.
