Aoshima 1/700 Yawata-Maru WL507 - Heritage Passenger Liner

The Aoshima 1/700 Japanese Passenger Liner Yawata-Maru WL507 brings a piece of maritime history to the bench. The scale model highlights the Yawata-Maru's role as a passenger liner that later served auxiliary duties, offering modellers a compact study subject of period naval architecture.

Period Accuracy and Visual Appeal

The kit reflects the vessel's original styling from the early 20th century, including hull lines and superstructure details. At 1/700 scale, the parts provide a realistic silhouette that benefits from careful painting and finishing touches.

Builder Tips and Techniques

Parts are moulded in PS plastic and require solvent or plastic cement for assembly. For crisp results, clean mould seams, dry-fit components before gluing, and apply thin coats of paint. Fine detailing can elevate the model for shelf display or small groupings.
