Fujimi 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano: Compact Pacific War Carrier Model

The Fujimi 1/700 Shinano kit recreates the imposing profile of Japan's largest wartime carrier in a compact scale. Modellers interested in Pacific War fleets will appreciate the kit's attention to hull form and deck layout. Parts are engineered for accurate alignment, allowing clean assembly of the carrier silhouette.

Why Collect the Shinano Model

Converted late in the war from a Yamato-class hull, Shinano is an intriguing subject for naval history fans. This model highlights the vessel's unusual origins and gives builders a chance to represent a rare part of carrier development history.

Assembly Tips and Display Uses

This Fujimi kit is aimed at builders who enjoy precise fitting and small-scale detailing. The 1/700 scale keeps the overall footprint modest while still permitting realistic deck fittings. Once finished, the model fits well into fleet groupings or a focused shore display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Injection-molded plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Dimensions: Length approximately 370mm
Yes, the kit's scale and layout make it a good candidate for photo-etch upgrades for railings, radars and finer deck detail if you want increased realism.
Assembly time varies by skill and detailing, but a focused build with basic painting can take several weekends; adding detailing and weathering will extend that time.
The kit provides parts to represent the Shinano's main features; for alternate fittings or highly specific configurations, modellers can source aftermarket parts or adapt components from other kits.
