Aoshima 04431 1/350 IJN Light Cruiser Kuma Detail Edition  [AO-04431]

Precision modelling with the Aoshima 04431 Kuma kit

The Aoshima 1/350 IJN Light Cruiser Kuma with exclusive photo-etched parts is aimed at modellers who want tight scale accuracy. The combination of fine moulded components and metal detail parts helps reproduce the vessel's features at 1/350 scale.

Operational role and modelling interest

Kuma functioned as a light cruiser where speed and armament mattered, and its silhouette is recognisable to naval enthusiasts. Building this kit is an exercise in capturing period lines and deck layouts, rewarding careful assembly and reference work.

Exclusive Photo-Etched Detailing

The supplied photo-etched items let you model thin railings, grilles and other delicate fittings that plastic cannot replicate. Using these parts improves scale realism and gives a sharper finish for display or diorama use.
