Introduction to the Aoshima 1/700 HMS Hermes model

This Aoshima 1/700 HMS Hermes kit recreates a landmark carrier in a compact waterline format. It is aimed at modellers who want a historically minded build that fits neatly into a collection or a themed display.

Historical background of the Hermes carrier

HMS Hermes is recognised as an early example of a carrier designed for aircraft operations, with service across the early 20th century. The model reflects that heritage and gives insight into carrier layout and function.

What to expect when building and showing the model

The kit features crisp mouldings and a selection of small parts representing deck fittings. As a waterline model it is easy to mount on bases or combine with other ships for harbour scenes; careful painting and decal work will enhance the final look.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed components for accurate assembly
Build time depends on experience and finishing level. A straightforward assembly can take several evenings, while detailed painting, rigging and weathering will extend the project to multiple weekends.
Some suppliers offer photoetched sets or aftermarket decks for 1/700 carriers. Check specialist vendors for upgrades that match the Aoshima #05103 kit if you want extra detail.
Use a magnifier, thin paint coats, and fine brushes for tiny features. Masking and layering colours rather than heavy single coats will keep moulded detail visible.
