Aoshima 06662 - 1/700 Yamashiro waterline replica for modellers

The Aoshima 06662 reproduces the IJN Yamashiro at 1/700 scale, offering a faithful nod to a vessel linked to the Leyte Gulf engagement. This waterline kit is made for enthusiasts who prefer creating fleet scenes or museum-style displays.

Historical context and model interest

The Yamashiro, the final Fuso-class ship, holds a distinct place in naval history. Model collectors will find the subject rewarding thanks to its recognizable silhouette and period significance.

Practical build guidance

Assembly involves small, well-moulded parts that benefit from patient fitting and tidy glue work. The kit rewards careful preparation and paint layering to capture the ship's structural lines and weapons layout.

The kit includes fine recessed details and small fittings. Expect to spend time trimming flash and dry-fitting parts for best results.
Yes, adding photo-etch railings or brass details can enhance realism, though they require extra tools and solder-free handling skills.
This release is a waterline kit only; a separate base or seascape is not included but can be added for diorama work.
Use standard polystyrene cement for most joins and a small amount of liquid cement for tight seams. Avoid excess to keep fine detail intact.
