Special edition Fujimi 1/700 Shinano - kit introduction

The Fujimi 1/700 Shinano special edition recreates the carrier at a manageable display scale while retaining its characteristic proportions. Model makers looking for a historically interesting subject will find this kit rewarding when assembled with care.

Context and modelling interest

Shinano's conversion from a battleship framework into an aircraft carrier is a key point of interest. This kit highlights those structural differences and offers a build that rewards attention to small detail and correct assembly sequence.

Using the included photo-etched details

Photo-etched parts in this edition add refined definition to areas like railings and surface fittings. Proper preparation and careful attachment will produce a cleaner, more realistic finish at 1/700 scale.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched parts
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for full realism
The special edition includes photo-etched parts that improve the scale appearance of thin features, giving a more convincing final model compared with plain plastic-only kits.
Build time varies with experience, but expect multiple sessions for trimming, test fitting, adding etched parts and painting. Allow time for adhesives and paint to cure between stages.
Use light washes, fine drybrushing and subtle chipping to suggest wear without overwhelming small details. Work with thinned products and build effects gradually for the best results.
