PLA.Navy FUJIAN

Sluban PLA.Navy FUJIAN (M38-B1211) brings one of China’s most distinctive modern naval vessels to a compact 1:700 display scale. Designed for collectors and enthusiasts aged 8 and up, this aviation-themed ship model captures the imposing silhouette of a contemporary aircraft carrier in compatible construction bricks, with a broad flight deck, island superstructure and unmistakable carrier profile.

The 1:700 scale makes FUJIAN well suited to a naval display, study shelf or wider collection of maritime and aviation models. Its proportions invite close viewing while keeping the finished model practical for desks, cabinets and dioramas. The subject also offers an engaging building experience for anyone interested in modern fleet design, carrier aviation and large-scale naval engineering.

M38-B1211 is presented as a focused model of the vessel rather than a generic warship. Details across the deck and superstructure help convey the layered appearance of a contemporary carrier, while the Sluban building-brick format allows the model to be assembled, handled and displayed with confidence. The set is listed for ages 8+, making it accessible to younger builders while still offering visual appeal for adult collectors.

Released in 2023, PLA.Navy FUJIAN is a striking addition to Sluban’s military and aviation range. The product information does not specify a piece count, so collectors should refer to the packaging or current retailer listing for final contents and availability.

Fujian is the third aircraft carrier developed for the People’s Liberation Army Navy and is widely identified as China’s Type 003 carrier. Named after Fujian Province, the ship represents a significant step in the development of China’s carrier fleet and is notably larger and more capable than the two earlier carriers, Liaoning and Shandong.

The vessel is distinguished by its large flat-top flight deck and electromagnetic aircraft launch system, commonly known as EMALS. Unlike ski-jump launch arrangements, electromagnetic catapults are intended to support a wider range of aircraft operations, including heavier aircraft and aircraft carrying more fuel or equipment. Fujian’s design therefore reflects the changing demands of modern carrier aviation and naval air power.

Launched in 2022, Fujian has been associated with an extensive programme of fitting out, testing and sea trials. Its clean, expansive deck and substantial island make it an especially recognizable subject for a 1:700 construction model, offering enthusiasts a clear miniature representation of a major modern aircraft carrier.
