■Product Description
The aircraft carrier Shinano from the Ship NEXT series now comes with photo-etched parts!
Shinano was planned as the third ship of the Yamato-class battleships, but its design was changed to an aircraft carrier during construction. It was completed in November 1944 and sunk that same month by a torpedo attack from a submarine.
The product is designed as a snap-fit type that does not require glue.
Major parts are represented by pre-colored plastic parts, and some colored parts are reproduced with realistic stickers that have excellent surface conformability.
The flight deck is made of two pieces, divided into a concrete-covered deck section and an outer edge section, making it convenient for painting. The color of the flight deck is a dark gray with a slightly bluish tint.
The hull bottom part reproduces the bulge shape which is different from that of the Yamato.
Two types of rudders are included: the conventional square rudder shape which is the same as that of the Yamato, and the square type equipped on ships such as the Taiho, to correspond to the new design.
The aircraft included are the "Ohka," which is said to have been carried on board at the time, the "Shiden-kai," which performed test landings, and the "Ryusei-kai" and "Saiun," which were planned to be carried.
The included decals allow for color representation without painting, mainly for the anti-submarine camouflage on both sides and the white lines on the flight deck.
For users who prefer painting, white line decals for the flight deck are also included.
The retractable antenna mast has a movable structure.
Bonus parts include "horizontal binoculars" and "machine gun ammunition boxes."
Etched parts are included that allow for detailed representation that is difficult to reproduce with injection molded parts.
Etched parts include railings, ladders, gangways, Type 13 radar, windbreaks, elevators, cranes, chimney caps, and aircraft propellers.
