Tamiya - Japanese Heavy Cruiser Chikuma 1/350 [78027]
Scale:Â 1:350Â
SKU: 78027
Barcode:Â 4950344780273
Model supplied unpainted & unassembled.Â
The Chikuma was completed in May 1939 as the second ship of the Tone-class. She was the final heavy cruiser to be built by the Japanese Navy and featured a distinctive design which concentrated four twin 20.3cm main gun turrets forward of the bridge in order to allow unimpeded launching of her six float-planes from the aft deck during battle. This is a highly detailed scale model of the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Chikuma in early-war form, prior to being refitted with additional equipment. Differences from the Tone such as the signal lights and rangefinder antennas are faithfully depicted. The ship's hull separates into port and starboard parts and the one-piece lower hull helps to produce the form of the beautiful bow. The turrets feature precision-molded panel lines and radiator slits. Parts such as masts and antennas are made from strong ABS plastic parts. Bridge windows and searchlight lenses are reproduced with clear plastic parts. Metal parts depict anchor chains and propeller shafts. Nakajima E8N and Kawanishi E7K float-planes can be set on the deck. Display stands for depicting aircraft in flight are included. Full hull model display stand is also included. Length: 576mm, Beam: 71mm. The sharp form of the ship has been accurately reproduced.
