Precision Detail Accessories for Tamiya Warship Models

Tamiya's 1/700 scale ship accessories collection provides naval modelers with essential detail enhancement components designed to elevate standard warship kits to museum-quality display pieces. These precision-engineered accessories are manufactured to the same exacting standards as Tamiya's legendary ship kits, ensuring perfect scale accuracy, seamless integration, and authentic historical detail. The collection encompasses comprehensive ordnance sets featuring replacement weapons systems, aircraft complements representing carrier-based and floatplane types from multiple nations, and premium upgrade packages combining photo-etched brass, turned metal components, and resin detail parts that transform basic plastic kits into competition-worthy masterpieces.

Heavy and Light Vessel Ordnance Sets

The Heavy Vessel Ordnance Set 31517 provides comprehensive weapons systems for battleships, battlecruisers, and heavy cruisers, including main battery gun turrets in various calibers from 8-inch through 18-inch configurations, secondary battery casemate guns and open mounts, anti-aircraft gun positions ranging from light machine guns through heavy dual-purpose mounts, torpedo tube installations for surface ship torpedo armament, depth charge racks and throwers for anti-submarine warfare, searchlight platforms and directors, rangefinder equipment and fire control stations, boat cranes and handling equipment, and anchor chains and deck fittings. This set allows modelers to replace kit-supplied weapons with crisply detailed separate components that can be positioned at various elevations and training angles for dynamic display presentations. The Light Vessel Ordnance Set 31518 focuses on destroyer, escort, and light cruiser armament with main battery guns in 4-inch through 6-inch calibers, torpedo launcher quintuple and quadruple mounts, light and medium anti-aircraft weapons, depth charge projectors and stern racks, and smaller boat handling equipment appropriate for escort vessels. Both sets feature finely molded components with accurate barrel profiles, detailed gun shields, and realistic mounting pedestals that capture the authentic appearance of naval ordnance from the World War II era.

Japanese Naval Aircraft Complements

The Japanese Naval Planes Set 31516 and Japanese Naval Planes Set 31511 provide comprehensive aircraft complements for Imperial Japanese Navy carriers, battleships, and cruisers. These sets include the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter in various configurations representing different production variants and operational periods, Aichi D3A Val dive bomber with accurate fixed landing gear and distinctive wing profile, Nakajima B5N Kate torpedo bomber with internal torpedo bay detail, Aichi E13A Jake reconnaissance floatplane for battleship and cruiser catapult operations, Mitsubishi F1M Pete observation floatplane, and Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe float fighter variant. Each aircraft is molded with fine surface detail including panel lines, cockpit framing, engine cowling details, and landing gear or float structures. The sets provide sufficient quantities to populate carrier flight decks with realistic air groups or equip battleship and cruiser catapults with appropriate floatplane complements, allowing modelers to recreate specific historical loadouts from Pearl Harbor, Midway, Philippine Sea, or other major Pacific War engagements.

American Aircraft and Special Sets

The North American B-25 Mitchell Set 31515 provides the famous medium bomber used in the April 1942 Doolittle Raid launched from USS Hornet, allowing modelers to recreate this historic mission with accurately scaled B-25B bombers positioned on the carrier's flight deck. The set includes multiple aircraft with detailed fuselage, wings, engines, and landing gear, plus optional configurations showing aircraft with wings folded or spread for deck handling operations. This specialized set enables authentic recreation of one of the most daring operations of World War II, with the oversized Army bombers crowding Hornet's deck in a display that captures the audacity and innovation of the raid that struck the Japanese home islands.

Premium Detail Upgrade Packages

The USS Saratoga CV-3 Aircraft Carrier with Pontos Detail Upgrade Set represents the ultimate enhancement package, combining Tamiya's precision injection-molded Saratoga kit with Pontos Model's comprehensive photo-etched brass detail set, turned metal gun barrels, and resin upgrade components. This premium package includes extensive photo-etched railings with accurate stanchion spacing and chain patterns, flight deck safety nets with realistic mesh patterns, aircraft elevator grilles with see-through detail, island superstructure enhancements including bridge windows, signal platforms, and antenna arrays, gun gallery walkways and platforms surrounding anti-aircraft positions, aircraft catapult details with shuttle tracks and restraining gear, turned brass gun barrels for all calibers with accurate taper and rifling detail, resin aircraft with superior surface detail compared to kit plastic parts, and wooden flight deck planking with realistic grain patterns and plank lines. This combination transforms the standard Tamiya kit into a competition-grade model suitable for the most demanding exhibitions and contests.

Integration with Tamiya Ship Kits

All Tamiya ship accessories are designed for seamless integration with Tamiya's extensive 1/700 scale warship kit range. The ordnance sets provide direct replacements for kit-supplied weapons, with mounting holes and attachment points that align perfectly with Tamiya kit structures. Aircraft sets are scaled to match Tamiya's flight deck dimensions and catapult positions, ensuring proper fit and authentic appearance when positioned on carrier decks or battleship catapults. The accessories use the same high-quality styrene plastic as Tamiya kits, accepting standard plastic cement, super glue, and acrylic paints without special preparation or priming requirements.
