The Aoshima AO-01240 brings a seaplane tender from WWII into 1/700 scale, focusing on the vessel's operational features. This kit is aimed at hobbyists who want an accurate small-scale subject for display or diorama work.

Scale Detail and Craftsmanship

Moulding captures essential elements such as deck fittings and the seaplane handling systems. The parts provide a solid base for painting, weathering, and adding small extra detail to enhance realism.

Assembly Tips and Presentation

Small components need careful trimming and alignment. After construction, the model presents well in themed displays or cabinets, where its compact footprint makes it a great complement to larger collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Dimensions: Length and width proportional to scale
This kit is better suited to modellers with some experience. The 1/700 scale means fine parts and tight fits that can challenge a novice builder.
Plastic cement formulated for polystyrene provides the strongest bonds. Thin liquid cements work well for small seams; use sparingly to avoid melting delicate detail.
Common options are a clear display case, a small diorama base, or a labelled shelf. A low-profile stand helps show hull lines while protecting delicate fittings.
