Close-up Study of WWII Ships in 1/700 Scale

The Tamiya 89713 kit delivers a compact 1/700 scale representation of the Taiho aircraft carrier alongside a Gato-class submarine. The plastic components capture deck and hull detail, giving builders a compact but informative look at these notable vessels for display or diorama use.

Best suited to experienced model builders, this set includes many small parts that need precise trimming and fitting, plus painting to reach a realistic result. Plan for fine brushes, suitable adhesives and patience to achieve sharp panel lines and accurate finishes.

What experience level is recommended for this kit?

This kit suits intermediate to advanced builders because of its small, intricate parts and the precision needed for assembly and painting.

Which paints and adhesives work best on these plastic parts?

Use model-specific acrylic or enamel paints and a plastic cement for strong joins. Thin coats and patience improve detail, and masking helps keep deck markings neat.

Can these models be shown together in a diorama?

Yes, the carrier and submarine work well together in a small seascape or harbour vignette; consider a simple water base and scaled figures to add context.
