Fujimi 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano: Detailed Fleet Model

The Fujimi 1/700 Shinano model captures the carrier's broad deck and distinctive superstructure in a scale that balances detail and display size. This kit reproduces key aspects of the ship's form so that modellers can assemble a convincing representation suitable for shelf or cabinet display.

Historical Notes for Model Makers

Shinano began as a Yamato-class hull before conversion into an aircraft carrier in 1944, a move that reflects wartime shifts in naval priorities. The Fujimi kit gives modellers a way to study and represent that conversion in miniature form.

Suitability and Finishing Advice

Designed with accurate molds and clear part separation, the kit suits modellers who enjoy intricate assembly. The 1/700 scale still allows for realistic painting and finishing work. Completed, the model pairs well with other World War II vessels for a compact fleet scene.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Injection-molded plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Dimensions: Length approximately 370mm
Most parts fit well but expect normal seam cleanup and occasional light sanding for the best joins, especially along hull halves and flight deck edges.
This kit focuses on the carrier itself; aircraft may not be included, so check the kit contents if you plan to display planes on the deck.
1/700 scale aftermarket sets for aircraft, railing, and boat fittings match well. Photo-etch and decals produced for 1/700 carriers will complement this build.
