Aoshima 06751 - 1/700 Chitose WL228 compact carrier replica

The Aoshima 06751 presents the IJN Aircraft Carrier Chitose in a precise 1/700 rendition. This kit reflects the ships conversion history from seaplane tender to carrier and offers a tidy, detail oriented build for modellers focused on historical accuracy.

Role in wartime operations

Chitose was repurposed during World War II to meet shifting naval requirements and saw action across the Pacific theatre. The model provides a small scale reference of that transformation and is useful for collectors interested in conversion era ships.

Build notes for modellers

Parts are scaled for fine detail, so assembly will benefit from tweezers, thin cement and patience. The kit is suitable for painting and weathering techniques that bring out deck fittings and hull lines, and it accepts extra detailing such as aftermarket decals.

Ways to present the finished model

Finished at 1/700, the Chitose is well suited to shelf displays or a compact diorama. Its size makes grouping with other Water Line series models easy, allowing collectors to narrate naval scenes at modest scale.
