Tamiya 31211 - 1/700 Scale Japanese Aircraft Carrier Taiho Model Kit, precision build for collectors  [31211]

Tamiya 31211 1/700 Taiho model overview

The Tamiya 31211 1/700 scale model of the Japanese Aircraft Carrier Taiho gives builders a compact but detailed study of wartime naval design. Completed in March 1944, Taiho represented advanced carrier construction, yet she was lost to a submarine attack about three months after entering service.

Key design details and kit features

This kit reflects Taiho's distinctive elements, including the armored flight deck and enclosed bow. The moulding captures the bridge and anti-aircraft armament with sharp definition. Modelers can choose mast positions for a cruising or battle look, and the lift platforms are buildable in either the raised or lowered configuration.

Modeling appeal and display value

As a display subject the Taiho is rewarding to finish, offering clear presentation potential for a shelf or diorama. The kit supplies parts to represent Mitsubishi A6M5 fighters and Nakajima B6N torpedo bombers, adding authentic aircraft detail that complements the ship's profile.
