Aoshima #AO-00095 - 1/700 scale Katsuragi carrier kit, Unryu-class  [AO-00095]

Introducing the Aoshima 1/700 I.J.N. Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi

The Aoshima 1/700 kit presents the I.J.N. Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi as a tidy, accurate small-scale project. As a member of the Unryu-class, the Katsuragi represents wartime design choices prioritising quicker construction. The kit suits hobbyists wanting a compact but faithful carrier build.

Historical background and model detail

Katsuragi's late entry into service meant limited combat action, yet the ship's layout remains a point of interest for naval modellers. The kit's parts reflect the carrier's silhouette and key fittings, letting builders recreate the vessel in miniature.

Assembly guidance and painting

Small-scale assembly calls for steady hands and fine tools. The kit requires glue for assembly and paint for realistic finishing; attention to skirted areas and deck surfaces will improve the final presentation.
