Aoshima 06731 - 1/700 Amatsukaze: compact historical ship model

The Aoshima 06731 reproduces the Amatsukaze in 1/700 scale, offering a compact, historically inspired model of a Japanese Navy destroyer. The design emphasises the vessel's wartime profile and provides a focused project for modellers who study naval subjects from the era.

Accurate small-scale representation

The kit supplies precise plastic parts that convey the ship's structure and armament layout. Builders should take care when assembling small elements to achieve a convincing result that reflects the original vessel's form.

Suitable for display cabinets and grouped fleets

On completion the model sits well in a display cabinet or as part of a fleet grouping. Its modest footprint makes it practical for presenting multiple ships together while retaining clear detail.
