Product Introduction

Escort the decoy Zuikaku!! The long-awaited 5,500-ton light cruiser is finally here, recreated in 2020 with a completely new mold and the latest technology!

●The motif of this figure is her final appearance during Operation Sho-Ichi-Go in October 1944. ・The catapults have been removed and replaced with additional machine guns, and the No. 7 14cm main gun has been replaced with a 12.7cm twin anti-aircraft gun. ・The horizontal linoleum deck, which differs from the Kuma, has been accurately reproduced.

★Bow The subtle curve near the bow fairlead has been accurately recreated. The 66cm shear (height) of the bow has been faithfully recreated.

★Main Gun The 14cm main guns are precisely shaped, including the breech (inside the shield), and a slide mold is used to create an open muzzle. Only Nos. 1-4 main guns have wavebreaks attached to their shields, and dedicated parts are used to express the difference from Nos. 5-6. The No. 2 main gun comes with two different parts: one facing backward in a fixed position, and one facing forward with the barrel angled for protection against waves.

★Bridge The bulletproof plates covering the compass bridge are recreated with meticulous attention to detail, including their shape, rivets, and mounting angle.

★Center The 5,500-ton light cruiser comes with two types of linoleum deck: vertical and horizontal, while the Tama uses a dedicated horizontal part.

★Stern The double horn shape at the stern is accurately reproduced on the bottom part.

★Pre-cut stickers are included to recreate the color details.

The Kan NEXT series is designed with a snap-fit ​​system that requires no adhesive, setting it apart from conventional kits. ◆The main color scheme is recreated using pre-painted molding material. ◆Details and markings are recreated with realistic stickers that provide excellent tracking. ◆A split system is used to ensure inconspicuous part joins. By separating the waterline sections, you can build both offshore and full-hull versions (excluding bonus parts).

This product is made in Japan. This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly.
