Aoshima 04431 1/350 IJN Light Cruiser Kuma Scale Kit - Photo-Etched Version  [AO-04431]

Scale fidelity and fine detail in the Aoshima 04431 Kuma kit

The Aoshima 1/350 IJN Light Cruiser Kuma with exclusive photo-etched parts gives model builders a chance to step up their display quality. This kit balances authentic silhouette and small-scale detailing so hobbyists can produce a convincing representation of the original vessel.

Ship history and modelling appeal for builders

The IJN Kuma served as a light cruiser with roles that emphasised speed and armament balance during its operational period. Reproducing this ship invites careful study of its lines and fittings, making it an engaging project for modellers who enjoy research-led builds and accurate results.

Exclusive Photo-Etched Detailing

The included exclusive photo-etched parts let you add railings, ladders and other fine elements that are difficult to achieve with plastic alone. These metal components sharpen the overall look and make panel lines and deck fittings read correctly at display distance.
