Chiyoda in scale: background and kit highlights

The Aoshima 00953 1/700 Scale Aircraft Carrier Chiyoda kit provides model builders a chance to portray a vessel with a distinct wartime history. Originally built as a seaplane carrier in 1934, Chiyoda was later refitted as an aircraft carrier after the Midway battle and participated in actions like the Mariana Islands campaign as part of the third fleet. The kit focuses on parts and shapes that reflect the ship's conversion and service record.
