Tamiya 31343 - 1/700 IJN CA Suzuya scale replica

The Tamiya 31343 reproduces the IJN CA Suzuya in fine 1/700 waterline detail, reflecting the ship's wartime conversion and upgraded armament. The kit is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate compact yet accurate naval models for shelf or case displays.

Suzuya in wartime context

Part of the Mogami series, Suzuya took part in several Pacific operations and underwent significant changes after treaty limitations lapsed. Its service alongside Mogami, Mikuma and Kumano exemplifies wartime cruiser evolution, concluding with its scuttling following severe damage off Samar Island.

With an overall length of 286.5mm and width of 35.3mm at 1/700 scale, the model balances detail and display size. Features such as polycap-mounted main turrets and accurately modelled 12.7cm guns and torpedo tubes provide modellers with realistic posing and finish options.
