     This is a 1/700 Plastic Japanese Aircraft Carrier Shinano from Tamiya.
                              For ages 10 and over.

     On November 28, 1944, the U.S.S. Archerfish was patrolling the Tokyo Bay
area.  The U.S. submarine detected a large carrier heading south, but the hull
and superstructure were of an unfamiliar design.  The mysterious ship in front
of the U.S.S. Archerfish was the largest carrier built during the war, the
Shinano.  The Shinano was planned to be third in a series of battleships,
following the Yamato and Musashi.  In May 1940, construction of the Shinano
started in the Yokosuka Naval Dockyard.  As the importance of carriers grew
during the Pacific War, it was decided to swiftly remodel the Shinano into an
aircraft carrier.
