Tamiya 31211 Taiho in 1/700 scale - kit overview

The Tamiya 31211 1/700 scale Japanese Aircraft Carrier Taiho kit captures a brief but important chapter of naval history. Completed in March 1944, Taiho showcased design advances for the Mobile Fleet before being sunk by a submarine attack a few months later.

Design notes and assembly options

The model reproduces Taiho's notable armored flight deck and enclosed bow, with finely moulded bridge sections and anti-aircraft fittings. Builders can assemble the mast to represent either peacetime cruising or combat posture, and the elevator platforms have both up and down assembly options.

Why builders value this kit

This kit appeals to modellers who enjoy precise assembly and scale accuracy. Included parts for Mitsubishi A6M5 fighters and Nakajima B6N torpedo bombers enhance authenticity and provide options for an accurate flight deck composition.
