Aoshima 1/700 Waterline Imperial Japanese Navy Aircraft Carrier Okinawa (Plastic Model)

Aoshima's Waterline series has been renewed with greater precision!

Newly designed and verified fitting parts accurately replicate the intricate details of the 1/700 scale model with multiple slide mechanisms implemented in the molds. The Waterline series has been reborn with even greater precision.

The "Chuyo" was initially completed as the luxurious passenger ship "Nittamaru" operating between Japan and Europe, but was later requisitioned and converted into an aircraft carrier. Although not known for significant action in naval battles, it excelled in transporting troops and aircraft, supporting the front lines. This kit transforms the aircraft carrier "Chuyo" into a 1/700 scale plastic model kit. The parts structure is simple and easy to assemble while accurately reproducing key features. Newly designed fittings, including the 25mm triple machine gun, have been added. The model effectively expresses the 1/700 scale's precision and detail.
