Hasegawa 40153 scale study of the IJN Shinano

The Hasegawa 1/450 scale model of the IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano, Hasegawa 40153, offers a faithful miniature of one of World War II's most notable carriers. Carefully engineered parts let builders reproduce the ship's broad flight deck and distinctive hull lines for an authentic display model.

Provenance and scale accuracy

Originally converted from a battleship hull, the Shinano had a unique design that this kit captures in small scale. The model highlights the carrier's layout and gives hobbyists a chance to explore its role and construction through assembly and finishing.

Assembly flow and showcase potential

Modelers with some experience will appreciate the fine detail and part fit when building this Hasegawa 40153 kit. With careful painting and rigging, the finished model becomes a strong centrepiece for a naval collection or diorama.

Specifications

This kit is best for modelers who have handled multi-part plastic assemblies before; small parts and precise fitting require steady hands and basic modelling tools.
Use plastic cement for seams and cyanoacrylate for small details. Acrylic or enamel ship colours are recommended for an accurate finish; primer helps reveal fit issues.
Yes, you can place compatible 1/450 aircraft on the deck if you secure them with small glue spots; plan layout before final painting to avoid masking problems.
