Chiyoda 1/700 Model Kit by Aoshima 06965 WL549 - Japanese Navy Midget Submarine Tender, Collector Friendly  [AO-06965]

Compact Aoshima Chiyoda 1/700 model

The Aoshima Chiyoda in 1/700 scale gives modellers a concise representation of the Japanese Navy midget submarine tender. This Aoshima kit highlights the vessel that supported midget submarine operations, making it a focused subject for naval modelling projects.

Modelling interest and subject appeal

The Chiyoda stands out for its operational role rather than heavy armament, so builders can explore deck fittings and service details. The 1/700 format keeps the model manageable while still allowing rewarding detailing and finishing.

Practical tips for construction

Tackle the kit with patience on small assemblies and decal placement. Dry-fit parts before gluing and plan paint stages to avoid masking issues. Weathering will add depth to the finished model.
