Aoshima 06737: 1/700 Heavy Cruiser Chokai (Waterline)

This 1/700 scale waterline plastic model reproduces the Imperial Japanese Navy heavy cruiser Chokai and is issued as part of Aoshima's 1/700 Water Line range for display and diorama projects.

Chokai served as a World War II-era IJN heavy cruiser, commissioned during the interwar period and employed in major fleet operations across the Pacific. The class combined primary gun batteries and torpedo armament typical of Japanese cruisers of the era, and the ship underwent refits that changed superstructure and armament layouts over time.

The kit models the hull at the waterline and provides parts for the main turrets, superstructure blocks, and basic deck fittings. The assembly sequence and parts layout follow conventional 1/700 waterline practice, leaving room for modelers to fit aftermarket photo-etch or refine small details. Use reference photos when adjusting rigging, masts, or antennae to match a chosen wartime configuration.

A compact 1/700 waterline kit that presents the heavy cruiser Chokai for collectors and modelers seeking a neat fleet display subject.
