Aoshima 06726 1/700 Scale IJN Akashi Waterline Model  [AO-06726]

Aoshima 06726 - 1/700 IJN Akashi Waterline Detail Guide

This Aoshima 1/700 scale kit of the IJN repair ship Akashi offers clear parts and accurate proportions for hobbyists exploring World War II naval support craft. The Aoshima 06726 release focuses on the ship's repair functions and compact deck workshops, suited to display layouts and fleet groups.

Why Model the Akashi and What to Expect

The Akashi served as a floating maintenance depot, enabling front-line ships to return to service more quickly. This waterline kit gives modellers the pieces needed to represent that role, with components that work well in a port or anchored-fleet scene.

Building Experience

Expect a build that requires patience: small assemblies and careful painting will reward you with a neat finished model. Builders can enhance the kit with washes and fine brushwork to highlight deck detail and equipment.
