Tamiya 31318 1/700 Scale Light Cruiser Kiso Replica

The Kuma-class light cruiser Kiso exemplified early 20th century naval design. Launched in the Taisho period and completed in 1920, Kiso took part in operations around the Aleutians and the Philippines. This Tamiya kit portrays the ship in its 1932 fit, showing three funnels, 8cm dual-purpose guns and a canvas canopy over the bridge, with degaussing cable and anchor details included for greater historical accuracy.

Why Model Builders Value This Kit

Detail and accurate proportions make this kit a satisfying project for hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and realistic displays. The kit pairs well with other Kuma-class models to form a coherent fleet showcase that highlights naval styling from the interwar years.
