At a glance: Mogami 1/700 model

The Tamiya 1/700 Mogami kit recreates the Japanese Aircraft Carrying Cruiser in a compact scale ideal for shelf or diorama use. The kit captures the ship after its refit to operate seaplanes, giving a clear representation of deck layout and superstructure.

Operational history highlights

Mogami saw action in operations including the Malay landings and the Sunda Strait battles. The conversion to carry multiple hydroplanes influenced its tactical role, and that development is reflected in the model's configuration.

The model is designed for detailed assembly at 1/700 scale. Historical bridge and funnel profiles are reproduced, and the aft flight deck is modelled for authenticity. Builders will find rotating main turrets thanks to included polycaps, and the castings show crisp armaments and fittings ready for weathering.
