Aoshima 06747 IJN Katori scale model guide

This Aoshima 06747 kit presents the IJN Katori at 1/700 scale within the Water Line series. The plastic model focuses on the ship's silhouette and fittings, making it a rewarding project for those who like compact naval builds.

Role of the Katori and appeal to modellers

The Katori served in the early 1940s in training and support roles before taking on a range of wartime duties. Recreating this vessel gives modellers insight into period ship design and the operational context of light cruisers.

What to expect during assembly

Building this kit involves precise part cleanup, alignment and painting. Attention to small details and proper decal application will improve the finished look, producing a neat display model representative of its class.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint: Required
Standard plastic cement works for most parts, but liquid cement with a fine applicator can make joining tiny components easier and cleaner for 1/700 scale assemblies.
Masts and small fittings are fragile at this scale. Use fine tweezers and a steady touch; consider using a small amount of PVA to hold very small parts during paint and final positioning.
Yes, but wash parts first to remove mould release, then prime with a thin model primer before applying final colours to improve paint adhesion and reveal any surface flaws to correct.
