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.
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.
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.
