Aoshima 04521 Chuyo 1/700 - finely detailed carrier kit

The Aoshima 04521 model captures the Chuyo aircraft carrier in 1/700 scale, presenting model builders with accurate hull lines and on-deck features. It is intended for hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and realistic finishing.

As part of Aoshima's Water Line Series, the kit is made for waterline displays and naval collections. Builders will find a range of small parts and surface details that respond well to precise painting and weathering work.

Specifications

Scale: 1/700
Assembly Required: Yes
Paint and Glue: Not Included
Material: Plastic

What level of modelling is this suited to?

The kit suits intermediate to advanced builders because of fine parts and precise alignment needs, though a determined beginner could complete it with patience.

Are there instructions for painting and marking placement?

Yes, the kit includes an instruction sheet with suggested colour callouts and decal placement guides to help achieve a correct finish.

Is weathering recommended for display?

Light weathering can add realism to the deck and hull; techniques like washes, dry brushing, and subtle chipping work well at this scale.

Can I retrofit LED lighting or moving parts?

Retrofitting electronics is possible but requires careful planning due to limited internal space in 1/700 models; consider small LED modules and thin wiring runs.
