Aoshima #AO-04541 - 1/700 Scale Katori Training Cruiser Model Kit for Scale Modellers  [AO-04541]

Aoshima 1/700 Training Cruiser Katori - Accurate WWII Cruiser Replica

The Aoshima 1/700 Training Cruiser Katori kit delivers a focused build experience for scale modellers and naval history fans. This plastic kit reproduces the Katori-class training cruiser used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the World War II period, offering realistic hull lines and superstructure detail for display or diorama projects.

Period Role and Faithful Detail

The Katori served primarily as a training platform while also seeing active service, and this model reflects both aspects with careful detailing. The parts capture the ship's layout and fittings so modellers can recreate its look with historical accuracy, particularly useful for collections focused on mid 20th century naval subjects.

Build Appeal and Finished Display

Assembly requires patience and attention to small components, rewarding builders with a compact, museum style result. The kit parts are moulded for clean joins and once painted and weathered the finished model makes a strong display piece highlighting the Katori-class profile.
