Aoshima 06662 1/700 IJN Yamashiro waterline scale replica

The Aoshima 06662 set models the IJN Yamashiro at 1/700 scale, capturing the battleship associated with the Leyte Gulf operations. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who appreciate compact, museum-style ship models.

Model heritage and display uses

The Yamashiro was the concluding example of the Fuso class and is an attractive subject for naval collections. This waterline edition makes it straightforward to assemble a harbour scene or integrate it into a larger fleet display.

Hints for finishing and detailing

To achieve a convincing result, take time with small parts and use layered painting techniques. Careful masking and subtle washes help reveal panel lines and deck features at this scale.
