Chiyoda model background and purpose

The Aoshima 00953 1/700 Scale Aircraft Carrier Chiyoda kit recreates a ship that began life as a seaplane carrier in 1934 and was converted to an aircraft carrier after the Midway engagement. Serving in operations such as the Mariana Islands campaign as part of the third fleet, Chiyoda's history is reflected in the kit's assembly parts and profile. This release is tailored for modellers who want an accurate small-scale representation without added fictional details.

Scale: 1/700
Assembly Required: Yes
Paint and Decals: Not included

What is the recommended skill level for this kit?

This 1/700 kit suits intermediate to experienced modellers due to small components and detail work; beginners may find some steps challenging.

Does the kit include historical notes?

The box typically includes basic historical context in the instructions, covering Chiyoda's conversion and service, but detailed references should be sought elsewhere.

How should I approach painting small details?

Use fine brushes or a fine-tip airbrush and consider masking for sharp deck edges. Thinned paints and steady hands give the best results at this scale.
