Reviews : Tamiya IJN Auxiliary Vessels WWII Boats

There are three ships included in this kit, with the larger two just under 4.5 inches and the smallest one almost three inches long exactly. These ships are not super detailed, but they are still fun to look at, especially for the low price. The only problem I had were with several of the pieces braking in half when removing them from the plastic surrounding them- you will need a super sharp modeling knife. Another thing to note is there were no instructions on what color to paint what piece, not a major flaw, just something to keep in mind. Overall I would buy this kit all over again as it is a fun couple of hour build.

Not terribly detailed, but they are small enough that any modification, PE or other wire, will be obvious enough to make them look a lot better. Additionally, the little detail isn't a big deal because these should be used for a diorama--and they shouldn't be the center of one. The fit's not too bad, and, most importantly, they are small, fast paced, and fun to build.

As a beginner I used these three ships as a learning opportunity to try some paint techniques. Very fun. Sure are small parts, needed my tweezers.

good level of detail on these 3 ships. They are small 3, 4 and 4, but that's what I was looking for. Nice value overall.

enjoyed building these little ships. very small but thats good when you have a very limited shelf space.

Everything was perfect exept the slow rate of shipping. 5 star if it was faster.
