Aoshima 1/700 Kan Colle No.01 Kanmusu Battleship Nagato - Scale Display Summary

The Aoshima 1/700 Kan Colle No.01 Kanmusu Battleship Nagato captures key elements of the original vessel in a compact model format. The kit reproduces major fittings and gun positions so enthusiasts can build a neat, museum-style piece in accurate scale.

Why Nagato Matters

The Nagato is notable in naval history for its armament and operational role, which this kit hints at through its turret shapes and deck layout. In 1/700 scale the model keeps recognisable proportions while fitting easily into a shelf display or diorama.

Kit Building Tips

Precision matters in this kit: remove flash carefully, check part orientation and use fine tweezers for small assemblies. Adhesives with slow set times help align parts before final bond, making assembly less stressful.

Showcase and Storage Advice

After painting and sealing, mount the model on a small base or stand to protect delicate fittings. Store on a stable shelf away from direct sunlight to keep colours and glue bonds intact over time.

Beginners can attempt it, but the small scale and fine parts make it easier for those with some prior kit experience. Work in stages and practise on cheaper kits first if new to modelling.
Liquid polystyrene cement or cyanoacrylate with a fine applicator are common choices. Use minimal amounts to avoid excess glue marking fine details.
Parts may be compatible by scale but check fit carefully; hull forms and mounts vary. Customising across kits is possible but usually requires trimming and refitting.
Apply a matt or satin clear coat after any weathering to lock down pigments. Spray in light layers and allow full drying between coats to avoid blemishes.
