■Product Description
This product features the Suzuya of the "Seventh Squadron, First Platoon," which played an active role in the Dutch East Indies invasion operation at the beginning of the Pacific War!
It expresses the characteristics of the later Mogami-class ships and the individual differences between it and its sister ship Kumano, and further uses additional molds to reproduce the appearance in 1942!
●The product is modeled after the third ship of the Mogami-class, "Suzuya," around 1942, before the lessons learned from the war were reflected.
●The hull sides use special parts that have a different hull cross-sectional shape from Mogami/Mikuma, and represent the appearance in the first half of the war when the portholes were not yet closed.
Hull Structure
・Special parts that represent the appearance in the first half of the war when the portholes were not closed.
・The external electrical wiring is molded as one piece on the hull, and the equipment position is different from that of Mogami/Mikuma.
Bridge/Foremast
・The foremast is a special part for the 1942 specification, which had a command post added before the start of the war and was not equipped with radar.
・The anti-aircraft command post has a separate part for the lookout binoculars, and the floor surface is precisely represented by the grating through engraving.
High-angle gun mount/Antenna support
・The 12.7 cm twin high-angle gun mount is a special part for Suzuya/Kumano with a protrusion on the back of the gun mount.
・The antenna support installed on the roof of the 3rd/4th main gun turret is a special part that reproduces the shape unique to each ship.
Aft mast/Aft bridge/Crane
・The aft mast is a special part for Suzuya with a rearward-sloping top and a Y-shaped yard, reproducing the difference from Kumano.
・Features a different crane part from Kumano, and the shape of the lightening holes is precisely engraved.
Included Decals
・Includes markings such as the naval ensign, national flag, and the Hinomaru (Japanese flag) on carrier-based aircraft.
The assembly instructions include a mini-explanation that allows you to learn about the names of the fittings and information about the actual ship while you are building.
The package box comes with a mini-box paper craft so you can save the box after assembly.
The Special Series is a 1/700 scale, waterline model that reproduces the area above the waterline.
This ship model boasts excellent detail reproduction thanks to its detailed parts division and delicate sculpting.
*This product is made in Japan.
