Introducing the Aoshima 1/700 Japanese Navy Aircraft Carrier Unryu WL226

The Aoshima 1/700 Japanese Navy Aircraft Carrier Unryu offers a compact but detailed project for model ship enthusiasts. The Unryu-class design is represented here in waterline format, suitable for collectors who prioritise period accuracy and fine assembly.

Model highlights and era relevance

The Unryu-class reflected a wartime shift in shipbuilding. This kit captures the carrier's profile and essential fittings, making it a relevant subject for builders interested in late WWII naval engineering.

Construction overview

Assembly involves a number of delicate parts and close fitting sections. Use precise cutting tools and quality plastic cement for neat joins. The result rewards careful builders with a sharp-scale finished model.

Collection fit

At 1/700, the completed Unryu stands well alongside other waterline ships. It is ideal for shelf displays, themed groupings or small diorama scenes that focus on naval action or fleet arrangements.

Yes. Masking helps achieve clean separation between deck colours and hull paint. Use low tack masking tape and test on spare plastic first.
Decal inclusion varies by release; check the kit contents. When present, decals are thin and benefit from a softening solution and careful placement.
A simple black or wooden plinth suits single models. For a more dynamic scene, a shallow water effect base using acrylic gel or gloss medium can simulate the sea surface.
