The Tamiya 78021 kit faithfully recreates the Japanese aircraft carrying cruiser Mogami in 1/350 scale, reflecting the ship's role in naval history. Originally built to meet London Naval Treaty limits, Mogami carried 15.5cm guns before later conversion to 20.3cm armament, and she saw action at major engagements like Midway and Leyte.
This detailed kit presents a rewarding challenge, with sections that require precise assembly to match the Mogami's complex lines. Builders can choose between a waterline or full hull build, and the included reinforcing frames and screws aid correct assembly for this substantial model.
Fine photo-etched fittings, clear parts for bridge windows and laser-cut gun components deliver high fidelity. Metal-plated prop shafts and polycaps provide realistic mounting and let you pose turrets for display variation.
The completed model is supplied with a metal nameplate and a display stand for shelf presentation. Parts to build 11 Aichi E13A floatplanes are included, and there is scope to display up to six in-flight seaplanes around the ship for added authenticity.
