Aoshima's "Waterline" model-kit line has now been renewed with a higher level of precision! This is a 1/700-scale kit of the submarine carrier Taigei, a large auxiliary ship built to work with Japanese Navy submarines operating in the vast Pacific Ocean. The impressive hull, which is close to the size of a battleship, is simple and easy to assemble, and can be accurately reproduced with a parts configuration that keeps the main points down. In addition to various equipment such as high-angle guns and searchlights, a newly designed carrier-based aircraft has been added. Slide-molding is used to create dense precision; in addition to armaments such as destroyer main guns and machine guns, carrier-based aircraft and various equipment have also been updated. The outfitting parts are newly molded, too, including:
- 110cm signal searchlight
- 60cm signal searchlight
- Type 89 12.7cm twin high-angle gun
- Radial davit
- Kure Type 2 Type 5 injection machine (aircraft catapult)
- Anchor (large)
- Chrysanthemum emblem (small)
- 12m fire launch
- 12m fireboat
- 11m fireboat
- 9m cutter
- Type 94 water reconnaissance aircraft
