Fujimi 46085 - 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano Special Edition with Concrete Deck - Heritage Edition  [FJ-46085]

Shinano Special Edition by Fujimi 1/700 - A compact naval history model

The Fujimi 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shinano Special Edition brings a key WWII ship to the workbench. As Fujimi 46085, this release includes the distinctive concrete flight deck that adds historical interest and display authenticity. It suits modellers who enjoy naval subjects and period-correct detailing.

Historical background and modelling interest

Originally planned as a battleship, the Shinano was converted to an aircraft carrier during construction, giving it a unique place in naval history. The kit captures those unusual design elements with careful moulding and part layout. Modellers interested in accurate rigging, deck fittings and ship lines will value the fidelity of this kit.

Assembly notes and presentation tips

At 1/700 scale the kit balances detail and display size, making it suitable for shelf exhibits or grouped fleet scenes. The concrete deck option improves visual authenticity, but requires careful painting to show texture. Glue assembly is needed, and a good paint scheme will significantly enhance the final result.
