Hasegawa 1/700 IJN Aoba heavy cruiser: accurate small scale modelling

This Hasegawa 1/700 model replicates the WWII IJN Aoba heavy cruiser with attention to the vessel's wartime form. It is aimed at modellers who appreciate compact, historically oriented ship kits with clear part definition.

Accurate small scale representation

Hasegawa's tooling captures the Aoba's superstructure and weapons in a way that reads well at 1/700 scale. The kit pieces are designed to show the ship's essential shapes while remaining buildable for experienced hobbyists.

Construction and display considerations

The kit provides a methodical build with several parts to fit. Finished, the model suits display in cabinets or as part of a fleet vignette, and rewards careful painting and weathering.

Best for intermediate to advanced modellers. The small scale and number of parts demand precise trimming and steady assembly to achieve a neat finish.
Yes. Subtle washes, dry brushing and light chipping can enhance realism. Test techniques on spare parts before applying to the finished model.
No stand or base is included. Many modellers fit a simple display base or create a diorama to present the ship in context.
Use historical photos and reputable naval paint guides for accurate schemes. Museum archives and specialist modelling publications are useful resources.
