Detailed 1/350 Scale Model of the Soya by Hasegawa 51152

The Hasegawa 51152 kit presents the Soya Antarctic Observation Ship in detailed 1/350 scale. Known for its service in polar research, this release reflects the ship's unique silhouette and functional fittings for historically accurate builds.

Geared toward seasoned modellers, the kit's fine detail requires precise assembly and neat painting to achieve a convincing result. With well-rendered parts and realistic shapes, the Hasegawa 51152 makes a strong addition to any naval modelling display.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

Due to the number of fine components and detailed work required, beginners may find the kit challenging; it is better suited to modellers with prior assembly experience.

How can I add realistic weathering to the model?

Apply thin washes, dry brushing, and subtle rust or grime pigments sparingly to panel lines and around deck fittings to suggest service wear without obscuring detail.

What display options work well for this ship?

Consider a shallow water diorama or a static museum-style plinth with a clear cover; a well-lit display highlights the small-scale detailing on the hull and superstructure.
