1:3000 Kure Naval Port, the Aoba version is a plastic diorama set of the Japanese naval base at Kure in 1:3000 scale from Fujimi, released in a licensed edition tied to the animated film In This Corner of the World.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a model of a single ship but a diorama base. The injection-molded plastic set represents the areas and installations of the naval base at Kure in the small 1:3000 scale and serves as a setting into which a modeler places ships of the same scale. The edition is licensed to the animated film In This Corner of the World, whose story takes place in Kure and its surroundings, and carries the designation of the Aoba version. The composition of the parts is stated on the box and in the instructions.
Kure, in Hiroshima Prefecture, was one of the main naval arsenals of the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was a combination of a naval port and a shipyard with dry docks, cranes, workshops and storage facilities, that is a place where ships were built, moored and repaired. The 1:3000 scale is deliberate for a subject of this kind: it can capture a whole harbor panorama with several vessels at once, while the individual elements of armament are already simplified to a silhouette.
Build the set on a firm base so that the surfaces do not warp. Concrete quays and embankments look best in a light gray shade, which can be brought to life with a dry brush and fine dust pigment in the joints. Glue the cranes and small structures with thin cement for plastic applied with a fine brush; on the thinnest parts cyanoacrylate glue will help. Modelers usually make the water surface separately, most often from acrylic gel or a varnished base. At a scale this small it pays to lighten the colors rather than darken them, otherwise the whole thing looks dark and loses its legibility.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. It is not a model of a ship. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
