Iconic Japanese Battleship in 1/700 Scale
This model kit brings to life one of the most celebrated capital ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy - the Battleship Nagato - in finely detailed 1/700 scale waterline form. As the lead ship of her class, Nagato played a key role in Japan's naval history through both World Wars and is renowned for her powerful design and historical significance. This compact scale makes the kit perfect for both shelf display and inclusion in fleet dioramas.

Part of Aoshima's Waterline Series Renewal
Produced as part of Aoshima's renewed 1/700 Waterline series, this kit benefits from updated tooling intended to deliver more precise and accurate details than earlier releases. Aoshima has employed slide molding technology to improve the fidelity of small components like weapons and on‑deck fittings - making the model more engaging to assemble and rewarding to display.

Detailed Armament and Outfit Components
The kit includes a wide variety of battle‑ready details that reflect Nagato's configuration during the Pacific War era. These include an abundance of anti‑aircraft guns, twin machine guns, high‑angle artillery, aircraft catapults, and even small shipboard boats and aircraft - all of which help capture the complexity of a large dreadnought's deck.

Waterline Presentation Enhances Fleet Context
Designed as a waterline model, this battleship kit omits the lower hull to create a realistic portrayal of Nagato at sea. This style highlights the ship's vast superstructure and deck details while making it easier to integrate with other 1/700 waterline naval kits or custom water bases. It's ideal for hobbyists who enjoy constructing historically themed fleets or port scenes.

Engaging Assembly for Military Model Enthusiasts
As with most detailed naval kits, assembly requires patience and precision, with a range of small parts that benefit from careful painting and gluing. While paint and cement are typically sold separately, the extensive set of molded fittings ensures the finished model looks rich and accurate - whether you leave it in classic gray or add weathering and diorama accessories to evoke wartime service.
