Hasegawa 49357 - Tenryu 1/700 Scale Naval Model Kit  [HA-49357]

Hasegawa 49357 - Tenryu 1/700 waterline subject

The Hasegawa 49357 represents the Japanese Navy Light Cruiser Tenryu at 1/700 scale, produced in the Water Line Series. It reproduces the ship's compact hull form and main fittings, aimed at hobbyists interested in period vessels and tidy shelf displays.

Why the Tenryu matters and kit fidelity

The Tenryu-class marked an evolution in light cruiser design, and this model reflects the ship's general arrangement and weapon placements. The kit gives builders the framework to model a convincing Tenryu with accurate painting and simple rigging work.

Assembly considerations and presentation

Moulded plastic parts require precise assembly and finishing. The kit is best tackled by modellers who can handle small components and tidy painting; the final piece sits well in group displays or alone on a stand.
