Compact 1/700 Fujimi 45131 Maya Full Hull Model for Shelf Display

The Fujimi 45131 1/700 IJN Heavy Cruiser Maya is a compact scale kit that captures the essential lines of the historic cruiser. With a full hull and an included dock, the model is geared toward modellers who favour tidy, accurate display pieces that sit well alongside other 1/700 subjects.

Operational Background and Scale Accuracy

The Maya served as part of the Takao-class cruisers in World War II and was recognised for its armament and seaworthiness. This kit reproduces the vessel's external layout faithfully at 1/700, offering a useful reference for historians and scale ship collectors.

Construction Notes and Painting Advice

Assembly demands careful trimming and alignment to preserve hull lines. Painting and weathering will significantly improve realism; modellers often use washes and dry brushing to highlight deck fittings and hull plating.
