Product Description
Aoshima's Waterline series has been renewed with even greater detail!!
The rigging parts were re-examined and redesigned.
By incorporating numerous sliding mechanisms into the mold, we were able to accurately reproduce the intricate details of a 1/700 scale model.
We present the Waterline series, reborn with even greater precision.

The Chiyoda was a seaplane tender built under the Second Naval Armaments Replenishment Program of 1934, but was converted into a midget submarine carrier in 1940. Furthermore, as a result of the loss of its main aircraft carriers following the defeat at the Battle of Midway, it was converted into an aircraft carrier in 1943.
In its first battle, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, it was assigned to the Third Air Fleet's Third Carrier Division, and the Zero fighter was equipped with 250kg bombs and used as a bomber.
In 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Cape Engaño, major naval battles between Japan and the United States, she participated as part of the Ozawa Task Force, along with her sister ship Chitose.
After being disabled by an attack from American carrier-based aircraft, it was intercepted by a cruiser squadron and sunk.
This kit features a well-organized parts configuration, making it simple, easy to assemble, and allowing for accurate reproduction.
We've added various newly designed pieces of equipment, including machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.
It successfully captures the precision and detail of a 1/700 scale model.
