(comment) There was no standard scale for plastic models of ships at the time, and each company was developing the series on its own scale. The 1/500 scale ship model is a scale that the U.S. Navy used during World War II as part of its identification model, but a limited number of manufacturers, such as Frog in the United Kingdom, Renwall in the United States, and Nichimo in Japan, adopted the 1/500 scale. After 1970, 1/700 scale became mainstream, and new development of 1/500 scale was slowing down, so the occurrence rate of this scale Mutsu became low (Nakazono)
