Build the Tamiya 31323 1/700 Isuzu: A Compact Naval Project

The Tamiya 1/700 Japanese Light Cruiser Isuzu model kit gives modellers a chance to recreate a notable warship. Launched as part of the Nagara-class in 1923, Isuzu was updated into an anti-aircraft cruiser in 1944. This kit focuses on the wartime refit, showing radar fittings and upgraded weapons to reflect its later service life.

Service History and Authentic Detail

Isuzu served the Imperial Japanese Navy for more than twenty years before being sunk by U.S. submarines in 1945. The kit highlights the structural and armament changes made during the conversion, letting builders study the ships wartime role and configuration.
