Fujimi 1/700 Shinano special edition - kit summary

This Fujimi 1/700 scale kit reconstructs the IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano with a focus on scale realism. Its conversion history and bulk make it an engaging project for model makers who enjoy precise assembly and authentic-looking results.

Model history and builder interest

The Shinano stands out because it was converted from a battleship hull into a carrier during construction, reflecting a major wartime change in naval priorities. The kit offers clear shapes and parts that showcase this unusual background.

Detailed finishing using photo-etched parts

The special edition's photo-etched parts help recreate fine elements such as railings and other thin fittings. These parts bring a crispness to the small-scale detail that plastic alone cannot achieve.
