The 1/700 Takom Models Ship Accessories collection showcases Takom's expertise in producing unique naval subjects that other manufacturers overlook. Specializing in auxiliary vessels, support structures, and naval infrastructure, Takom fills critical gaps in the ship modeling market by documenting the essential but often-ignored elements of naval operations.
The USS ABSD-1 Large Auxiliary Floating Dry Dock represents one of the most ambitious 1/700 scale ship kits ever produced. This massive sectional floating dry dock was designed to service battleships, aircraft carriers, and other large warships in forward areas during WWII. The kit captures the ABSD-1's modular construction with multiple pontoon sections, intricate lattice framework, detailed crane equipment, pumping systems, and comprehensive deck fittings. The engineering allows modelers to display the dry dock in various configurations, empty or with a warship positioned for maintenance. This kit provides an exceptional opportunity to create dramatic dioramas depicting naval repair operations in the Pacific Theater, showcasing the logistical complexity that supported fleet operations far from home ports.
Takom's approach to naval subjects emphasizes historical significance and engineering detail. The ABSD-1 kit features precision-molded structural components that replicate the dry dock's steel framework, photo-etched brass details for railings and ladders, comprehensive assembly instructions with historical notes, and multiple display options. The kit's scale allows modelers to pair it with warships from 1/700 Tamiya Model Ships, 1/700 Trumpeter Model Ships, and other manufacturers to create compelling maintenance and repair scenes.
