Tamiya 31212 - 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Junyo Kit for Collectors and Builders  [31212]

Tamiya 31212 1/700 IJN CV Junyo - Accurate scale kit for serious hobbyists

The Tamiya 1/700 IJN CV Junyo kit recreates a notable wartime carrier converted from a passenger liner in July 1942. The model reflects Junyo's operational history, including participation at the Battle of Santa Cruz, and is aimed at collectors and builders who value historical fidelity and clean assembly.

Service history and appeal to model builders

Junyo gained recognition for actions in the Pacific theatre, including involvement in strikes against the U.S. carrier Hornet. This kit shows defining traits such as the passenger-liner bow form and the 26-degree angled funnel merged into the bridge island, details that modellers focused on naval subjects will value.

Model Features and Building Experience

The set contains finely moulded small components like masts and anti-aircraft fittings plus a complement of aircraft. Careful assembly is required to achieve the best appearance, and waterslide decals along with clear pictorial instructions help guide the build from start to finish.
