Fujimi 46085 - 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano Special Edition with Concrete Deck - Collector Grade Kit  [FJ-46085]

Fujimi 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano Special Edition - Accurate WWII carrier reproduction

The Fujimi 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano Special Edition reproduces the imposing WWII vessel with close attention to form and detail. Represented by Fujimi 46085, this special edition adds the concrete flight deck variant for a more authentic presentation. It is aimed at serious collectors and modelers who appreciate historical kits.

Why the Shinano appeals to model builders

The Shinano began life as a battleship project before conversion to an aircraft carrier, giving it unusual proportions and historical interest. This kit reflects those traits with precise parts and scale-accurate elements. Builders who enjoy naval engineering, period detail and careful assembly will find the kit both challenging and rewarding.

Building experience and display expectations

The 1/700 scale keeps the model compact while preserving fine deck and superstructure detail. The concrete deck option enhances realism for dioramas or cabinet displays. Assembly requires glue and careful handling of small components; painting is recommended to bring out the details. When finished, the Shinano makes an impressive display alongside other WWII ships or as a stand-alone centrepiece.
