Inspecting the Mutsu Full Hull Kit

The Aoshima 40072 1/700 scale model reproduces the IJN Battleship Mutsu with careful attention to hull form and superstructure detail, appealing to modellers who value historical accuracy and neat assembly.

Legacy and Modelling Interest

Commissioned in the early 1920s, the Mutsu is a key example of period naval design. This full hull kit lets builders explore both above and below the waterline fittings for a complete scale representation.

Build Quality and Detail Level

Moulded plastic parts provide crisp edges for turrets, masts, and deck hardware. Clean component layout on the sprues helps with trimming and fitting, rewarding careful construction and finishing.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Includes: Decals for accurate markings

Can I add photo-etched parts or upgrades?

Yes. After the basic assembly you can fit aftermarket photo-etched details for railings and fittings to increase realism. Plan placements before gluing major subassemblies.

Are the decals easy to apply?

The kit includes waterslide decals. Use setting solution and a smooth gloss base coat to help them conform to curved surfaces and avoid silvering.

What skill level is this kit aimed at?

This kit suits intermediate to advanced modellers due to fine parts and the precision needed for painting and decal work. Novices can still build it with patience and the right tools.
