This is a plastic model and assembly is required.
Experience the stunning detail of the 1/700-scale model kit of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano, featuring a concrete-deck look with precision photo-etched parts. This model is an accurate representation of the Shinano as she appeared upon completion in November 1944, redesigned with a new mold in 2017. The kit also includes parts for the planned aircraft types for Shinano, allowing for a comprehensive build.
Key Features:
- The model kit allows you to construct either a full-hull or waterline version by dividing the hull and bottom parts at the waterline.
- Special parts are designed to highlight distinct features between Shinano and her sister ships, Yamato and Musashi, without part sharing.
- The hull features a left-right split, with intricate detail around the bow's bellmouth arrangement based on meticulous research.
- Anti-submarine camouflage is represented with colored plastic parts and superior sealant for high precision.
- Delicately crafted portholes accurately depict both blocked and unblocked designs.
- A unique bulge at the ship's bottom is faithfully reproduced, with two available rudder shapes—a traditional Yamato style and a round type similar to the aircraft carrier Taiho.
Flight Deck & Add-Ons:
- The two-piece flight deck is perfect for paint customization, with distinct sections separating the concrete deck from the outer edge.
- A seamlessly molded one-piece bridge with finely detailed sculpting on all sides enhances realism.
- The rear short boat deck and chimney structures are precisely recreated using the latest reference materials.
- Detailed high-angle gun mount and hangar wall designs deliver intricate sculptural density.
Aircraft Models:
- The kit includes models of four aircraft types: Shiden Kai, Ryusei, Saiun, and Ohka.
- The Shiden Kai model is available in both the standard dark green and an orange prototype version.
- Detailed leg parts are provided for Ryusei, Saiun, and Shiden Kai for added realism.
- Retractable radio antenna supports allow for dynamic takeoff scene recreations.
Additional Features:
- The kit includes stickers for depicting anti-submarine camouflage sections and flight deck white lines, enabling color representation without painting.
- Also included are decals for flight deck white lines and Hinomaru flags for the onboard aircraft.
Enhancements:
- The model offers detailed finishing touches with adhesive components like horizontal binoculars and machine gun ammunition boxes for refined craftsmanship.
- Comprehensive photo-etched parts enrich the model with added detail, including handrails, ladders, radar, windbreak fences, elevators, cranes, and more.
