Chokai Heavy Cruiser, 1/700 Waterline - Aoshima 06737

This kit represents the Imperial Japanese Navy heavy cruiser Chokai at 1/700 scale in a waterline presentation, released within Aoshima's 1/700 Water Line catalogue for static modelling and display.

Originally commissioned in the interwar years, Chokai operated as a fleet heavy cruiser during World War II and saw service across Pacific operations. The ship combined heavy guns with torpedo armament and experienced refits that altered its superstructure and weapon layout, so period references are useful for accurate reproduction.

The sprues provide parts to show the hull profile, main gun turrets, and superstructure blocks with basic deck fittings typical of the series. Assembly follows standard 1/700 waterline conventions, offering experienced builders the opportunity to add aftermarket etchings or fine details where desired. Consult photographs and reference material when finishing antennae or rigging details.
