Aoshima 1/700 Kan Colle No.01 Kanmusu Battleship Nagato - Modeller Focus

The Aoshima 1/700 Kan Colle No.01 Kanmusu Battleship Nagato model offers a faithful small-scale take on the famous battleship, with cleanly moulded parts and clear structural definition. It is a practical choice for anyone assembling a historical fleet in 1/700 scale.

Historical Context and Model Fidelity

The Nagato is represented through its main armament layout and deck arrangement, giving viewers an immediate sense of the ship's wartime configuration. The scale preserves key features while remaining display-friendly.

Build Considerations

This kit benefits from steady hands and a plan: separate sub-assemblies, dry-fit components and paint sections before final assembly to reduce the chance of marking small details during construction.

Display Suggestions

Use a low-profile plinth or a shallow sea base to display the finished model. Subtle washes and panel highlighting will help the fine moulded detail stand out under close inspection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Injection-molded plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authenticity
Intermediate modellers will find this kit satisfying; novices can complete it with patience, but should expect fine parts and careful painting to achieve the best result.
The kit is accurate out of the box, but adding photo-etched parts, fine rigging and subtle weathering will significantly raise realism for display purposes.
Spray priming followed by thin brush or airbrush layers works well. Use masking for clean deck lines and consider pre-shading to emphasise paneling before final coats.
