About product

Tamiya 1:700 Japanese light cruiser Kuma

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Japanese light cruiser Kuma in 1:700 scale from the traditional Waterline range by Tamiya. The model renders the hull in the waterline version, that is only the part above the waterline, so that the finished ship looks as if it were afloat. The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

Kuma was the lead ship of the light cruiser class of the same name in the Imperial Japanese Navy. She entered service in 1920 and during the Second World War operated mainly in the waters of Southeast Asia. She was distinguished by her slender hull, her characteristic silhouette with three funnels and a main armament of 14 cm caliber. The ship was sunk in 1944.

Building and painting tips

Cut the small parts of the superstructure and the armament off with a sharp knife and glue them with liquid modeling cement for plastic. Supplementary photo-etched parts, railings for example, suit the fine detail. Paint with an airbrush in shades of Japanese naval gray, set the deck apart and bring the surface to life with a gentle wash and dry brushing to accent the details. The model can be mounted on a stand or set into an imitation of water.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy
  • Modelers interested in 1:700 scale and the Waterline range
  • More experienced builders and more advanced beginners
  • Builders of display arrangements and naval dioramas

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is an unassembled plastic kit. The parts have to be cut out, glued together and painted. Glue and paints are not included in the package.

The model renders only the hull above the waterline, so once finished it looks like a ship afloat. The lower part of the hull is not built.

In 1:700 scale, which is very widespread for warships and makes it possible to collect whole fleets at a comparable size.
