Aoshima 06662 1/700 scale Yamashiro waterline build

The Aoshima 06662 model faithfully recreates the IJN Yamashiro at 1/700 scale, reflecting the ship's wartime appearance. The subject is historically tied to operations like the Leyte Gulf battle and makes a strong addition to a naval collection.

Why builders choose the Yamashiro

As the last Fuso-class battleship, Yamashiro has a distinctive profile that appeals to modellers aiming for historically accurate fleets. The waterline approach simplifies display while keeping the hull lines accurate.

Tips for a clean assembly

Successful assembly depends on careful part preparation, from removing mould seams to test-fitting subassemblies. Fine sanding and selective weathering will bring out the ship's structural detail.
