Overview of the Mutsu Full Hull Release

The Aoshima 40072 1/700 scale kit recreates the IJN Battleship Mutsu with a focus on accurate hull shape and deck detail, ideal for modellers seeking a display-quality subject.

Historical Context and Modelling Interest

Introduced to service in the 1920s, the Mutsu reflects naval engineering of its era. This full hull kit lets you present the ship in a traditional display format while retaining authentic structural elements.

Detailing and Assembly Notes

Parts are moulded to highlight the ship's architecture including main turrets and deck fixtures. Careful test fitting and tidy seam work will improve the final result and emphasise the kit's detail.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Includes: Decals for accurate markings

What paints work best on this plastic kit?

Both acrylic and enamel paints adhere well after a light wash with soapy water and a primer coat. Choose naval grey tones based on reference photos and weathering techniques for realism.

Does the kit include a display stand?

The kit is supplied without a dedicated stand. Many builders mount the finished hull on a wooden or acrylic base to suit their display preferences.

How should I store unused parts during the build?

Keep sprues and small parts in resealable bags and label them. A small compartment tray helps avoid lost pieces and speeds up assembly.
