Plastic Models
[Scale] 1/700
It comes with etched parts in the standard Japanese Navy "warship color" that was never actually painted!

The product is based on the shape of the original when it was completed in November 1944, and was made into a three-

Dimensional model using a completely new design and new mold in 2017.

- The hull is a pre-painted part that imitates the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal color (warship color).

- The bottom and hull parts are separated at the waterline, allowing you to create both an offshore model and a full hull model.

The aircraft carrier "Shinano" was originally laid down at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal in 1939 as the third ship of the Yamato-class battleships.

Due to the loss of the main aircraft carriers in the Battle of Midway in 1942, the Shinano, which was under construction, was redesigned as an aircraft carrier.

After the defeat in the Battle of the Marianas in 1944, Yokosuka was placed within range of air raids, so construction was rushed for the ship to be sent to Kure, and it was completed as an aircraft carrier in November.

In the same month, on her maiden voyage to Kure, she was torpedoed by a US submarine and sunk 100 km off the coast of Shionomisaki, the largest aircraft carrier in the Japanese Navy's history, lost in just 10 days.

No painting required: Each part is colored with its own molding color, and some parts are painted with stickers to create different colors.

No glue required: The parts are designed to fit together for easy assembly
Molded parts are available in 7 colors
Size upon completion: 381x83x134mm Number of assembly parts: 233 In real life, they are sister ships, Yamato and Musashi, but in order to express the differences, the two ships do not share parts but use exclusive parts.

The aircraft carrier will include the planned format.

The ship's hull is divided into left and right sections, and the layout around the bow bellmouth has been accurately reproduced.

Some parts, such as the canvas on the openings on the side of the ship, are expressed using a highly conformable sealant.

The portholes along the sides of the ship are delicately carved to show the difference between blocked and unblocked shapes.

The bottom of the ship reproduces a bulge shape different from that of Yamato.

The parts are pre-painted in the ship's bottom color (red) so no painting is required.

Depending on the installation of this part, you can finish it as a full hull model or an ocean model.
There are two types of rudders: a round type similar to the Yamato in the conventional theory, and a round type similar to the Taiho aircraft carrier that has been said in recent years.

The flight deck is made up of two pieces
The concrete deck and outer edges are divided into parts, making them ideal for painting.

The concrete flooring is molded in a light gray color that is brighter than the warship color.

The bridge is made as a single part using a slide mold.

All four sides are intricately carved for a realistic appearance
The funnel shape and the structure around the rear short boat deck are three-

Dimensionally recreated based on recent documents and research.

The anti-aircraft gun mount has a striped pattern, the hangar wall has monkey ladders, and the surfaces tend to be monotonous, but the detailed carvings create a dense shape.

The retractable radio antenna support is retractable, allowing you to recreate the scene when taking off from the ship.

Four types of aircraft are included: "Shiden Kai", "Ryusei", "Saiun" and "Ohka". The Shiden Kai is reproduced in two colors: the standard dark green and the orange color of the prototype Shiden Kai-2.
The Ryusei, Saiun, and Shiden Kai models have one-piece molded legs, and separate, intricately sculpted leg parts are also available.

The included stickers are specially designed to accommodate concrete flight decks, which is different from previous products.

The included stickers include canvas covering on the ship's sides, linoleum on the bridge floor, and white lines on the flight deck.

It is possible to express color without painting.

In addition to the stickers, decals are included for painting purposes, including the flight deck white lines and the Japanese flag of the aircraft on board.

Bonus parts include adhesive "horizontal binoculars" and "machine gun ammunition box", as well as parts for detailed finishing.

The delicate equipment of the ship, which cannot be expressed with injection parts, is included with etching parts.

Etching parts include handrails, ladders, ladders, No. 13 radar, windbreak fences, elevators, cranes, chimney caps, airplane propellers, etc.
