Aoshima 1/700 I.J.N. Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi kit overview

This Aoshima 1/700 representation of the I.J.N. Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi captures the wartime profile of the Unryu-class carrier with careful attention to hull lines and superstructure. The kit reflects the carrier's late World War II design intent, when construction emphasized economy and speed of production. It is suited to modellers who want a realistic small-scale naval subject.

Service context and fidelity

Although Katsuragi entered service late and saw limited action, the model lets builders study the carrier's layout and fittings. The kit includes molded details that mirror the vessel's appearance, giving a faithful small-scale interpretation of mid 20th century naval engineering.

Build notes and finishing

Designed for builders comfortable with fine assembly, the 1/700 scale requires steady handling for small parts and careful painting. Components are intended for glue assembly and will benefit from accurate paintwork to bring out deck and hull detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue for construction
  • Finish: Painting required to complete model
This kit is produced at 1/700 scale, offering a compact but detailed display size that fits well in collections or dioramas.
Yes, the instructions include painting notes to help match historical colours, but you will need paints and brushes or an airbrush to finish the model.
This is best suited to intermediate to advanced modellers due to the small parts and precision assembly required. Beginners may enjoy it with patience and the right tools.
