Tamiya 31343 - 1/700 IJN CA Suzuya ship model

The Tamiya 31343 presents the IJN CA Suzuya as a 1/700 waterline kit, emphasising the conversion and armament changes that defined the vessel during World War II. The kit is aimed at modellers who want a compact yet historically informed cruiser representation.

Suzuya in the fleet

Suzuya, one of the Mogami-class cruisers, took part in multiple engagements across the Pacific theatre. The ship underwent refits and upgrades which altered its capabilities and profile, and its combat service ended when it was scuttled after severe battle damage off Samar Island.

The model measures 286.5mm long by 35.3mm wide at 1/700 scale, offering a balance between detail and display footprint. The kit includes polycap-mounted rotating main turrets and carefully moulded 12.7cm turrets and torpedo armament for authentic visual impact.
