Refine Scale Accuracy on Your IJN Noshiro

The Hasegawa 40085 - 1/350 IJN Noshiro Light Cruiser Detail Upgrade Kit offers a set of etched parts aimed at improving small-scale features such as railings, vents and deck fixtures, making the finished model more convincing under close inspection.

These components are best suited to builders experienced with fine assemblies and careful painting. When fitted correctly they enhance both the silhouette and the close-up detail of a 1/350 naval build.

Assembly: Requires advanced modelling skills

Can these parts be used with aftermarket rigging?

Yes, the etched fittings work well alongside aftermarket rigging and can provide attachment points or scale detail to complement rigging runs.

How should I handle fragile antennae and rails?

Use minimal glue, support parts while curing and consider reinforcing thin sections with microfilament or a drop of superglue applied internally to avoid visible excess on the exterior.

Are there any known fit issues to watch for?

Fit can vary slightly between kit runs; always dry-fit and, if necessary, trim contact points carefully to ensure alignment before permanent bonding.

What paints work best on etched metal?

Primers formulated for metal followed by acrylic or enamel topcoats applied thinly with an airbrush give the most consistent and durable finish.

Can I bend parts without breaking them?

Yes if you use the right technique and tools; score bend lines lightly and use a dedicated bending tool or smooth pliers to control the fold without stressing the metal.
