Tamiya 31322 - Japanese Light Cruiser Nagara in 1/700

The Nagara, a member of the Nagara-class, demonstrates early 20th century naval architecture influenced by British practice, notable for its spoon bow and seakeeping characteristics. Commissioned in the late 1910s, she saw extended service during World War II and was sunk by a U.S. submarine in 1944.

Tamiya's 1/700 scale portrayal captures the Nagara as configured late in the war with augmented anti-aircraft armament. The kit is aimed at enthusiasts who appreciate compact, accurate naval subjects.

Modelling Advice

Expect fine surface detail and multiple fitting choices for armament, allowing accurate late war representation. The metal flotation component helps settle the model for display, while the clear pictorial instructions assist modellers through the build stages.

Photographic references and specialist naval modelling books are the best source for accurate markings and camo schemes. Cross reference any decal options with period imagery to match the late war appearance.
The flotation aid is a fitted part that can be left in place for balance or removed if you prefer a lighter hull. If removed, consider alternative weighting to maintain the model's display posture.
Careful seam removal, priming, thin coats of paint, and decal setting followed by a protective varnish will produce a clean, museum quality finish. Weathering is optional depending on the display style you prefer.
