Fujimi has announced the August 2020 release of a 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi Special Version (with 51 Naval Aircraft)
According to Wikipedia, Katsuragi (葛城) was the third and final Unryū-class aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy built during World War II. Named after Mount Katsuragi, in Nara Prefecture, and completed late in the war; she never embarked her complement of aircraft and spent the war in Japanese waters. The ship was badly damaged in a July 1945 airstrike by American carrier aircraft on Kure Naval Base. Repaired after the end of the war, Katsuragi was then used as a repatriation transport for a number of months, bringing Japanese soldiers and civilians back to Japan from overseas locations. She was scrapped in Japan beginning in late 1946.

The 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi Special Version is available from Hobbylink Japan at https://www.hlj.com/1-700-scale-ijn-aircraft-carrier-katsuragi-special-version-with-51-navalised-aircraft-fuj43318 and can be ordered for about US$33.
