Aoshima 1/700 Yawata-Maru WL507 - Scale Liner Replica

The Aoshima 1/700 Japanese Passenger Liner Yawata-Maru WL507 provides a detailed miniature of a notable passenger liner that later served auxiliary roles. This model is aimed at hobbyists who appreciate accurate proportions and period detail in a small footprint.

Origins and Visual Accuracy

Built to reflect the vessel's early 20th century profile, the kit reproduces hull lines and superstructure features that characterised the Yawata-Maru. The result is a faithful representation suitable for collectors and history-minded builders.

Tips for a Quality Finish

As a PS plastic kit, careful trimming, sanding and precise glue application will improve the final appearance. Consider masking for clean paint lines and using washes to bring out panel detail on the finished model.
