Introducing the Tamiya 31213 1/700 Shokaku Model

The Tamiya 31213 - 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Shokaku Model Kit recreates the Shokaku at 1/700 scale, focusing on the vessel's early war appearance. It is a compact but detailed kit that appeals to history minded builders and collectors who enjoy accurate naval subjects.

Scale detail and included aircraft

The set includes finely defined deck features and parts to build Mitsubishi A6M2 fighters and Aichi D3A bombers. Attention to deck markings and aircraft fit makes it straightforward to compose realistic flight deck scenes or a museum style display.

Build process and finished look

Builders should expect a precise assembly process supported by clear instructions, waterslide decals and a metal component that aids flotation in simple displays. With a finished length of 367mm, the completed model presents well on a shelf or in a dedicated display cabinet.

  • Length: 367mm

Acrylic or enamel model paints thinned for airbrush work give the cleanest finish on 1/700 scale. Use fine tip brushes for small deck details and aircraft markings.
Yes, the 1/700 scale is a common naval modelling scale, so this Shokaku will sit well alongside other 1/700 vessels for fleet displays and dioramas.
Standard tools include hobby knives, sprue cutters, fine tweezers, sanding sticks and model glue. A steady workspace and good lighting make rigging and decal work much easier.
