1:700 Japanese Light Cruiser Kumano - Water Line Series

1:700 Japanese Light Cruiser Kumano - Water Line Series

A Mogami-class cruiser that was built under the London Disarmament Treaty, which limited the naval power of each country, with the premise that its main gun would later be replaced to make it into a heavy cruiser. This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces Kumano, the 4th ship, in its appearance as a light cruiser before the main gun replacement work. The 15.5cm triple gun, which is a characteristic of the light cruiser era, has a sharp finish with new parts. The gun barrel is integrally molded with the turret, and the canvas at the base is also very realistic. Due to the design reviewed before construction and reinforcement work performed during construction, the differences in the hull and overall width, as well as the superstructure, which have a different cross-sectional shape from the Mogami and Mikuma, are faithfully modeled. Not only does it serve as an item that traces the evolution of each Mogami-class ship, but it is also very attractive to create variations such as modifying Mogami, Mikuma, and Suzuya to the light cruiser era, or Kumano to the heavy cruiser era.
