Examine the Aoshima 06960 Chitose 1/700 seaplane tender

The Aoshima 06960 kit recreates the Japanese Navy Seaplane Tender Chitose at 1/700 scale, using PS plastic components to capture deck and superstructure features. The kit is a solid choice for modellers who appreciate historical ships and detailed small-scale builds.

Why the Chitose matters

As a seaplane tender, Chitose supported reconnaissance and patrol aircraft operations during WWII. This kit presents the ship's profile and key fittings in miniature, helping builders study wartime naval logistics and ship design.

Assembly and finishing

The model contains multiple small parts that require patience and accurate gluing. Careful painting and subtle weathering will elevate the finished build and emphasise structural detail for display.
