Hasegawa 49357 - 1/700 Tenryu light cruiser kit

This Hasegawa 49357 kit recreates the Japanese Navy Light Cruiser Tenryu in 1/700 scale, offering a finely detailed Water Line Series model. It presents an accurate small-ship silhouette and is intended for hobbyists who value historical detail and a neat display presence.

Role in naval history and model accuracy

The Tenryu-class played a part in early 20th century fleet development, and this kit captures the ship's distinct profile and armament layout. Builders can replicate the cruiser appearance with careful painting and rigging to reflect period features.

Building process and display notes

Parts are molded in plastic and require careful assembly, so the kit suits builders comfortable with glue and fine detailing. Once assembled and finished, the model makes a compact but convincing addition to a naval display case or diorama.
