Kumano 1/700 Scale Model Overview

The Tamiya 31313 model kit recreates the Japanese Light Cruiser Kumano at 1/700 scale, emphasising fine surface detail and historic accuracy. Part of Tamiya's Water Line Series, this kit is aimed at modellers who value precise fit and authentic deck features. The Kumano served as a Mogami-class cruiser during World War II, making this kit a fitting subject for naval history collectors.

Assembly delivers a rewarding bench build, with injection-moulded parts that capture superstructure, armament and hull detail. Careful painting and decal work will enhance realism, and the static display format is ideal for shelf or diorama showcase. This kit is geared to hobbyists comfortable with small-scale modelling techniques.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Static display model
  • Paint and decals required for finishing

What tools are recommended to build this Tamiya 31313 kit?

Basic modelling tools such as fine cutters, hobby knife, small files and tweezers are useful. A steady hand and magnification help with small deck parts and rigging details.

Which paints work best for the Kumano water line finish?

Enamel or acrylic hobby paints designed for plastic models give reliable coverage. Use thin coats and primer for even colour, and reference period photos for historically accurate shades.

Can this kit be used in a diorama or only as a display model?

Although marketed as a static display model, the 1/700 scale suits waterline dioramas. Secure the hull to a base and add water effects or harbour details for a compact scene.
