The Tamiya 1/350 Japanese Heavy Cruiser Mogami (78023) reproduces one of the most versatile and interesting of all IJN cruiser designs — the Mogami in her final configuration as an aviation cruiser with the aft turrets replaced by a large seaplane deck and hangar. Originally built as light cruisers to circumvent the Washington Treaty limits, the Mogami-class was subsequently re-armed with 8-inch guns as heavy cruisers, and Mogami herself was later converted to an aviation cruiser capable of carrying 11 seaplanes.

This large-scale Tamiya kit captures the distinctive hybrid aviation cruiser configuration.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate IJN Mogami in aviation cruiser configuration
• Extended seaplane deck and hangar faithfully reproduced
• Forward 8-inch gun turrets alongside extensive aviation facilities
• Late-war Pacific marking options
• A uniquely versatile and unusual warship in 1/350 scale
