Snapshot of the Tamiya 1/700 Ohsumi ship model

The Tamiya 1/700 scale kit portraying the JMSDF Defense Ship LST-4001 Ohsumi delivers a compact, detailed model of the transport ship. It suits modellers focused on accurate lines and a realistic deck arrangement at display scale.

Design and service notes on the Ohsumi

Launched into duty in 1998, the Ohsumi serves as a versatile landing and transport vessel with a broad vehicle deck and substantial load capacity. It can transport ten to twenty tanks plus around forty larger vehicles, and it supports helicopter operations for varied missions.

Details modelled in the kit

The kit captures hull contours and deck structures that allow builders to reflect operational elements. Included features such as the LCAC bay enable modellers to suggest real-world amphibious capability when finishing the model.
