Aoshima 06726 IJN Akashi 1/700 Waterline Ship Kit  [AO-06726]

Aoshima 06726 - 1/700 IJN Akashi Waterline Model Summary

The Aoshima 1/700 kit of the IJN repair ship Akashi provides a compact but detailed model for those interested in naval auxiliaries from World War II. Aoshima 06726 reproduces the ship's repair facilities and deck layout with parts that support a convincing representation in a harbour setting.

Operational Role and Modelling Potential

Akashi functioned as a repair and maintenance platform for fleet units, often operating near forward bases. This waterline kit is tailored for builders who want to represent ship support roles within a larger fleet diorama.

Building Experience

The build level suits modellers comfortable with small-scale parts and precise painting. Careful assembly and optional aftermarket upgrades can markedly improve the realism of the finished Akashi.
