■ Product explanation ■ The "Shioya" refueling ship was completed in 1943 as the second Ashizuri-class refueling ship.
The Ashizuri-class was a special aircraft carrier support ship that accompanied mobile forces and was able to supply aircraft fuel, torpedoes, bombs, and ammunitions to two aircraft carriers, as well as to supply and maintain aircraft and its engines. However, the Shioya died in June 1944 without assuming the original task of supporting mobile forces.
The Kit is a refueling ship but has a battleship-style hull and is heavily armed with consideration for front-line operations such as supply to aircraft carriers and air bases on remote islands. It thoroughly reproduces the unique appearance of the Shioya.
